【譯】叉婊Pitchfork評(píng)Big Theif 2021年單曲《Little Things》
翻譯:Nomanlandever

On “Little Things,”?Big Thief?perfect their natural ability to turn?fleeting moments?into unrestrained narrative. Produced by drummer?James Krivchenia, this A-side of the band’s?new split single?unfolds with a drunken clarity, setting aside the cosmic sounds of their?2019?albums?in favor of an intoxicating portrait of infatuation. Singer?Adrianne Lenker?narrates the intense attachment she forms around a romantic partner, relaying both the good and bad without compromise. Endorphins rush through the thronging drums, guitar bursts, and quick handclaps that accompany her rambling reveries. “Leaving me undressed like some cheap classic movie/Maybe I’m a little obsessed/Maybe you do use me,” she sings, wrestling with the messiness of glorifying both a lover’s “gold and blue” feelings. While in the past, Lenker might have ruminated on the darkness of this situation, here she chases the highs of these smaller wonders (“I still lose sight of every other face”), leaving things open-ended: “I was inside of you/Where are you now?” Her insecurities now work in her favor, adding light-heartedness to her joy.
在《Little Things》中,Big Thief在將 稍縱即逝的瞬間變?yōu)闊o(wú)拘束敘事 的能力上更進(jìn)一步。歌曲由鼓手James Krivchenia制作,A面曲清晰地描述出醉酒下的狀態(tài),突破2019年兩張超級(jí)杰作的限制,創(chuàng)造出一幅醉人的迷戀畫像。主唱Adrianne Lenker敘說(shuō)著她對(duì)浪漫情人的強(qiáng)烈依戀,不偏袒地傳遞出好或不好的信息。內(nèi)啡肽伴隨著她漫無(wú)目的的幻想,穿梭在擁擠的鼓聲、吉他聲和快速的鼓掌聲中。“Leaving me undressed like some cheap classic movie/Maybe I’m a little obsessed/Maybe you do use me,” 她唱道,在贊美愛人的“gold and blue”混亂感情中掙扎。在過(guò)去,Adrianne Lenker可能會(huì)反思這種情況的黑暗,但在這里,她追逐著由這些小奇跡構(gòu)成的天地?(“I still lose sight of every other face”)?留下開放式的結(jié)尾“I was inside of you/Where are you now?” 如今她的不安感使她感受到更多自由自在的愉悅。
