The title track of U.F.O.F., Big Thief's third studio album, out on 4AD on May 3, 2019, is where the name gets decoded: the song's words reveal that the initials stand for a UFO friend. Adrianne Lenker wrote it and sings it over her own acoustic guitar, with Buck Meek on electric guitar and James Krivchenia on drums and percussion, while Lenker, Krivchenia and the bassist fold in choir vocals.
Andrew Sarlo produced and Dom Monks mixed. The band made the album in June 2018 at Bear Creek Studio, tucked away in the green of Woodinville, Washington, and just days after finishing headed for Sonic Ranch in the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas to cut Two Hands, the record billed as its earth twin.
