Buck Meek (who you may know from Big Thief, his joint releases with bandmate Adrianne Lenker, or perhaps just from his solo stuff already!)
“The Mirror” is scheduled for release at the end of February. There’s a tender power, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity, Meek reveals the uniqueness in the mundane. “The Mirror” searches for new meaning and the familiar is reframed through Meek’s singular voice.
Just months after Big Thief had released one of our favourite albums of 2025 with “Double Infinity”, Big Thief guitarist Buck Meek announced his next solo album, The Mirror, due 2/27 via 4AD. It was made with his Big Thief bandmate James Krivchenia and Big Thief vocalist Adrianne Lenker contributes to it too, so it shouldn’t be a big surprise that you can hear a lot of Big Thief’s magic coming through on lead single “Gasoline.” It’s the kind of strummy folk rock that Buck Meek does so well, but it’s also got some of those art rock tendencies that came through on “Double Infinity“, making it just a little more far-out than what we usually get from Buck’s solo career.
