Buck Meek new album The Mirror.has a strangely retro cover . He's looking over his shoulder, clasping a chainmail fence. It's all strangely Pat Benatar or The Cars. The album itself also seems oddly disorientated. Ynmoored. Perhaps he is. Unmoored from Big Thief who he usually anchors on guitar.
It's a lovely record anyhow. Very 2026 Hippie. Bug Thief are highly Hippie these days. That's why they're greatly loved I imagine. The Mirror. has precious little connection with Benatar and Cars apart from its sleeve.
But it's a fine recird. I'm not sure how the Big Thief surviving trio do it but I'm glad they do. Buck Meek here is Floating In Space. And frankly it suits hum. .
