Released as the B-side to fan-favourite “Vampire Empire,” Big Thief’s latest single offering is all unbridled elation bubbling underneath the surface of indie folk mastery. Adrianne Lenker sings “When the hard times come and the hard times stay, when they stick around and won’t go away, I was born for loving you. That’s just something I was made to do.” The arrangement is understated, twangy and laid-back—even Lenker’s delivery lands on the mellower side of her catalogue—but it’s the warmest the band has ever sounded. Though a new staple in the group’s live sets, this studio version of “Born for Loving You” is a stark reminder of what it means to be genuine and genuinely in love.
A limited 7″ vinyl will be released October 20th,
