In almost every imaginable way, instrumentals is an unconventional record, especially when listened to in conjunction with songs, an effort laden with deliberateness and structural warmth. Still, instrumentals is a worthwhile amalgamation of ambient instrumentation that soothes and invigorates any willing ear.

While starkly different from the energetic electricity and instrumentation of Big Thief’s previous efforts, songs is nevertheless a wonderfully atmospheric change of pace and one record that is certainly worth a hearty listen.
