The moment
Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You was two months old — a twenty-song double album recorded in four sessions across America, greeted as the kind of sprawling masterpiece bands aren't supposed to attempt anymore — and Big Thief were suddenly the consensus best band in indie rock. Roadrunner was weeks old too; band and building broke in together. John's second of six Big Thief entries, from the opening-slot discovery of 2017 to tickets still on the calendar.
From the time
- Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You
“The 2022 double album that made them the consensus band of their generation.”
