Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (February 11, 2022) Album • Page 22

the transition from "time escaping" into "spud infinity" is so perfect

 

ok “time escaping” is kind of the song i’ve always wanted from them

 

spud infinity is cute, little frog noises and shit

 

Y’all weren’t kidding about Flower of Blood

 

Also all those tweets were deleted so I have no idea what was being discussed

 

good. let’s just talk about how great this record is instead

 

little things has some big dizzy up the girl vibes

 

Lol that's so true but I would have never reached for that comparison in a million years

 

it’s the guitar tuning

 

people have said it's DMB sounding but it's def way more goo goo dolls

 

SIMULATION SWARM

 

flowers of blood was an experience.

simulation swarm is my current obssession

 

There are still about 6-8 songs I don’t have much use for here and I think i’d like this overall a lot more if it were more of a traditional album length. But the 12 or so songs i like, i really really like!

 

Wake Me Up To Drive is the lo fi BT track I’ve been waiting for

 

First full Big Thief album for me. Checked it out entirely because of this site’s hype for it and am loving it. Stoked that they have a decently sized discog to dig into once I’ve played this one out.

 

title track
heavy bend
flower of blood
blurred view
simulation swarm
love love love
blue lightning

are all the ones that stuck out the most on one listen.

 

not sure if this was posted..

 

Few songs have ever captivated me with their world building as much as simulation swarm

 

Wake Me Up to Drive kinda gives me Daniel Johnston vibes

 

Apologies for the Ian Cohen post, but a Deftones comparison is definitely a first haha
