More audacious than that, half the song is given over to Lenker’s electric guitar solo – a sceptic-converting firework display derived from the spacious Neil Young school, but wound far more tightly, full of frustration and suffering, angry and ecstatic at the same time. Lenker solos on electric a few more times, an approach that raises the question why Big Thief bother with so much mellifluous Americana filler when they could routinely blow the roof off every venue with Lenker’s gnarly power and Meek’s revolutionary un-playing. Capacity did not enter the US Billboard 200, but peaked at number 9 on the US Heatseekers Albums Chart.

Zocher remembers the young Lenker's worn sneakers and calm independence. She taught her in one-on-one lessons and in her Joni Mitchell lab. "Whenever her peers would hear her, they would be tremendously inspired," Zocher says. "They'd be like, 'That's what I want to do.'"
