Big Thief are back with new single "Forgotten Eyes", the second offering to be lifted from their second album of the year, Two Hands.
"Forgotten Eyes" follows on from Big Thief's August lead single "Not".
Their upcoming album Two Hands is the group's second LP of 2019, after May's U.F.O.F..
Big Thief's fourth album was recorded 30 miles west of El Paso, at Sonic Ranch studios.
Vocalist Adrianne Lanker says of their upcoming record, "Two Hands has the songs that I’m the most proud of; I can imagine myself singing them when I’m old. Musically and lyrically, you can’t break it down much further than this. It’s already bare-bones."
"Forgotten Eyes" is out now. Big Thief's Two Hands album arrives via 4AD on 11 October. They play London's Eventim Apollo on 27 February 2020. Find out more.
