Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You (2022)

Big Thief's sprawling 20-song double album was recorded in four very different places, and the shifting rooms keep it fresh. Fiddle, jaw harp, country ballads and scrappy rock songs all circle Adrianne Lenker's earthy, unguarded writing. For an indie fan it is the perfect bridge: a band you may already know, playing folk with a rock band's looseness.
