Big Thief have released a new EP called Passional Relations to be benefit wildfire relief efforts in California. A majority of proceeds from the five-track release will be donated to the Plus1 LA Fires Fund, with the rest directly supporting local musicians, artists, and community members. It’s only available at Big Thief’s website, and you can buy it here.
Most of the songs on Passional Relations were recorded in 2020, during the sessions for 2022’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You: ‘Imagination’ and ‘Light as Light’ were tracked with Dom Monks that year, while ‘Waiting on Blue’, featuring vocals from Mat Davidson, was made with Scott McMicken. A new version of ‘Zombie Girl’, which previously appeared on Adrianne Lenker’s songs, was recorded by Sam Owens (aka Sam Evian) at Flying Cloud. Only ‘Shadow Too’ dates back to 2018, with the band’s James Krivchenia handling the recording in Topanga, California.
“Our hearts are broken for everyone affected by the fires in California,” Big Thief said in a statement. “We’ve put together some of our favorite unreleased songs into an EP called Passional Relations, only available on our webstore, and all proceeds will go toward providing relief for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles. Our hope is that these contributions will not only help address the crucial and immediate needs of affected communities but also help sustain the work, identity, and culture of the artists within them.”
