Big Thief are pushing themselves a bit further with this one. It's a big album, and there's a lot of variety. I love the opener, 'Change', it's beautiful, and the country banger Red Moon is a lot of fun.… Expand

An odd assortment of creatures and people sitting around a bon fire and creating music together...
   
   The musical communication between the band members here is fantastic. Their chemistry shines through in such a way, that it makes you feel like you are in the room with the band. Just a bunch of hippies jamming out and noodling around, with perfect cohesion.
   
   I was skeptical of the length of this project, coming in at 1hr20min, but I will say... Shockingly, the sounds and ideas, do not overstay their welcome! Genres span from Folk, to Indie, to country, and often times mixing all three.
   
   I would like to applaud the band for creating such a cool sounding album for us!
   
   My favorite songs are, Time Escaping, Little Things, Blurred View, and Simulation Storm.

Just a lot of very talented song-writers writing their hearts out with complete creative freedom. Big Thief have finally managed to create their opus, and it's comfortable hearing them having a blast, cheerfully laughing and embracing themselves with love.… Expand

You'd be forgiven for questioning whether Lenker has struck some kind of Faustian bargain, such is the songwriting power she yields. The only word is supernatural. I'm struggling to think of an artist who is both as prolific and consistent in the same time span. "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You", Big Thief's 5th album, is a colossus and their masterpiece up to this point. Spanning 20 tracks and 80 minutes, the album covers a wide range of styles from country to folk rock, from lo fi indietronica to raw singer songwriter folk. While it is a monster to consume, it is hard to find any below par tracks and I have found that even the occasional supposed misstep has grown on me the more I listen. At least half of the tracks tread the genius category. "Simulation Swarm" is up there with Mythological Beauty" among my favourite Big Thief tracks and gives a good sense of what the album offers. It's up there with The Beatles (White) in terms of scope and ambition and I have no doubt it will go down as an all time classic. Hard to see where the band can possible go from here.… Expand

   With "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You" Big Thief succeeds in creating a monumental feature-length masterpiece. The Brooklyn bandWith "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You" Big Thief succeeds in creating a monumental feature-length masterpiece. The Brooklyn band shows itself more experimental than ever and reassured and complacent at the same time. This combination is incredibly rare and so soothing, soft and loose that it's impossible to dislike it.
   
   Somehow, everything about this album is a bit too long – which starts with the name and goes over to the playing time. The record's fragile and experimental style sounds unfinished and strained at times. No offense, but after 80 minutes you have simply gone through enough experiments and vocal gradations of Adrianne Lenker.
   
   My favorites:
   "Little Things"
   "Simulation Swarm"
   "Flower of Blood"
