NYC band Big Thief dropped their 'Masterpiece' EP via Saddle Creek Records a few months back. Packing in lush and moody sounds of Americana into four songs, the group have shared one of the highlight tracks taken from the record. 'Paul', a breezy slice of alt-rock, is that song that plays in a break-up scene where one of the members in the couple packs their bags, hops in the car and drives off into the sunset as the other party stands there with a pitiful stare. Whilst the song may feel quite melancholic to the one who has been left behind, it's a beautiful and liberating soundtrack for the other. Have a listen.
