BIG RED MACHINE – GRATITUDE
2018-08-27Big Red Machine is first proper album by Justin Vernon, Aaron Dessner, and a collective of their friends, as well as the first full-length to be released in partnership with PEOPLE, a not-for-profit streaming platform and musical gathering. For all the voices, hands, and big, progressive concepts involved in the project, it’s astounding how of-a-piece it sounds. Often songs begin with a hurky-jerky programmed drum and end up massive and anthemic.
