Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You

Big Thief’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You is an expansive, deeply immersive double album that captures the full emotional and sonic breadth of the band’s creative universe. Conceived as a journey through growth, collaboration, and musical exploration, the album was shaped across four distinct recording sessions held in Upstate New York, Topanga Canyon, the Rocky Mountains, and Tucson, Arizona.

Over the course of five months, Adrianne Lenker, Max Oleartchik, Buck Meek, and James Krivchenia recorded 45 songs, ultimately distilling the experience into a 20-track odyssey. Produced by drummer Krivchenia himself, DNWMIBIY feels like a curated scrapbook of Big Thief’s diverse influences and emotional range—intimate folk, off-kilter rock, dreamy country, and experimental textures, all coexisting in a warm, organic sprawl.

The result is not just a record, but a statement of identity: sprawling yet focused, mystical yet grounded. Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You is arguably the band’s most ambitious and revealing work to date, a modern classic that rewards repeat listens with its layered beauty and vulnerability.
