Forgiver - A Big Thief Bootleg Project
Over the past few years, Big Thief has accumulated a true treasure trove of unreleased material which has only ever been played live. How much material, you may ask? Well it turns out an entire full length double albums worth.
I've taken the liberty of going through and compiling various recorded live performances into a track list of 20 songs. The album, which I've tentatively titled "Forgiver" after the song of the same name, comes in at a staggering 1 hour and 20 minutes in total length. The tracklist and download links are included below.

1. Vampire Empire*
2. Horsepower
3. Words
4. No Machine
5. Born For Loving You

* so technically Vampire Empire has now been officially released HOWEVER at the time when I started editing this together it was not yet out, and I think it fits into the tracklist really well so I wasn't too keen on removing it when it did release. Also I just like that specific live version I included, and its different enough from the official version where I think its justified in keeping it in.
