Flights by Big Thanks

Last July, we decided to get together to play one last time before a member of our Minneapolis-based trio had to move back to their native upstate NY. It was the first time we had played together – or with anyone – since the start of the COVID lockdowns. With all the unease and energy that comprised summer 2020, we entered the studio, masked and distanced, to say shalom: hello and goodbye.

These improvisations are captured images of fractured emotions. The loneliness of lockdown, the tragedy of life lost, the horror of racist state violence, and the joy of community.

This record also features honorary fourth member of Big Thanks, Dex Wolfe. Dex’s engineering skills have been an integral part of forming our sound, and we are happy that this record can also feature his guitar playing. We are excited to share this music and we appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Trash House Music/improvisation based, song driven music making. Thank you Palmer's.
