A pesar de (o gracias a) su austeridad y carácter desenfadado, Lenker consigue un pequeño milagro de disco con sus canciones, su voz y unas letras hirientes y bellas. Mira que Big Thief son un pedazo de banda, pero aquí casi no se echan de menos.
i generally fuck with everything adrianne does. she's a special songwriter, one that i really admire in her ability to weave the personal with the universal. sometimes i listen to records and think, wow, i can really feel what you felt and see what you meant. no bullshit. straight to the source of wherever it came from. this is one of those records. sadness as a gift is a straight 5/5 for me.
