In the beginning of May U.F.O.F, the third album of Big Thief was released. It is a new high point in the history of the band. The record changes between meditation and quiet ecstasy and is full of music for daydreamers who do not want to wake up. The title also symbolizes what it is about: The second F stands for "Friend"; the alien in his unknown flying object is not an enemy, says lead singer Adrienne Lenker, the exterior, the things outside of one's own self that go beyond direct understanding, no one has to fear. The F in Friend is also emblematic of the overall atmosphere between the members of Big Thief. Through their endless tours, the band grew close not only professionally but also personally.
