Please welcome the 11th installment of our Document Series — The Big Net's 'Big Moon b/w Rufus' out 2/28. An exercise in immediacy, it was recorded live in 2 days. The true distillation of a moment. An impulse, trusted. The emotive power of this trio is strong, driving the band's style down the highway somewhere between drone and country, folk and rock. Listen to the incredible first song "Big Moon" now and pre-order the 7" here.

Introducing S. Raekwon, the latest artist to join our Document Series & first whose music we’re releasing through a demo submission. Thanks Stereogum for shining a light on this.
