Our latest live performance on the Indie Rock Hit Parade is perhaps our most special one to date. Recorded live from the stage at World Cafe Live Philadelphia, the New York quartet Big Thief joined us to play songs from their debut album, Masterpiece!

Truly living up to its lofty name, Masterpiece is a tour-de-force for singer/guitarist Adrienne Lenker and her band, guitarist Buck Meek, drummer James Krivchenia and bassist Max Oleartchik. Big Thief’s set was recorded when they were opening for Nada Surf on a short East Coast tour.

Listen to Big Thief’s live set below, and check out the setlist, too!
