Our Take

Big Red Machine, the eponymous debut album from the dynamic duo of Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner, is a rollercoaster ride of unconventional sounds and soul-stirring melodies. From the moment the opening track "Deep Green" hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride.

Vernon's haunting falsetto glides effortlessly over Dessner's intricate production, creating a sonic landscape that is both otherworldly and grounded. Tracks like "Gratitude" and "Forest Green" showcase the duo's ability to blend complex rhythms with heartfelt lyrics, while "Hymnostic" feels like a modern hymn for the digital age.

However, not every moment on Big Red Machine hits the mark. The experimental nature of the album may not be to everyone's taste, with tracks like "Lyla" and "OMG" feeling disjointed and out of place in the overall narrative. But it's impossible to deny the raw emotion and creativity that Vernon and Dessner bring to the table.

Overall, Big Red Machine is a bold and brave statement from two of the industry's most innovative minds. While it may not be for everyone, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a listening experience that is both challenging and ultimately rewarding. So strap in, turn up the volume, and let Big Red Machine take you on a journey unlike any other.
