Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (February 11, 2022) Album • Page 2

I love this band and will very likely end up at the Chicago show but nearly $50 for one ticket is ridiculous

 

Yeah it’s a big downside to larger venues

 

Also they have three ticket options for the Chicago show, general admission, balcony, and mezzanine. They seats at the venue they are playing used to be all general admission/free to access with a ticket but apparently not anymore which sucks. Those are even more expensive.

 

Potential album title and release date - 11 Feb 2022, "Dragon New Warm Mountain, I Believe In You"

Not sure if RYM is the source for the other two or vice versa. Is anyone a user of that site and able to check if there's a reference for that album info?

It feels like a fan title to me, using lyrics from "Dragon" and "anything". They aren't known for using long titles and it doesn't feel like it fits the album cover but who knows.

 

Someone says that’s the title on Reddit too and that Change is the opener on the album

On Sept 15th, last.fm showed that someone listened to:
- Flower of Blood
- Blurred View
- Red Moon
- Wake Me Up To Drive
- No Reason (presumably this song)
- Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You

Thinking the last title was ridiculous, I assumed it was just someone's personal labeling of bootlegs/IG clips. I'm not a fan so I'd like it to be fake but I also really hope "No Reason" is on the album.

 

Yeah I haven't seen that track 1 detail anywhere else yet. It seems silly but the biggest sign to me that it's the actual title is the fact that the Portuguese site uses a comma in the title and XPN does not, suggesting that they are not copying info from the same source.

The lyric from anything actually says dragon too:

Lyrics from Dragon mention all of those elements in different lines:
"In the new warm mountain"
"There's a dragon in your phone line?"
"I believe in you even when you need to recoil"

 

Their merch store sells a t shirt with a dragon on it

This radio playlist shows that album title mentioned on Sept 24th when Certainty was played. So yeah I guess it's legit

edit - another station, mentioned on 9/26

 

There are last.fm pages for Blue Lightning and Once a Buncha Times, both saying they haven't been played. At the first show on this tour, she said they wrote Once... a few days before the show. Maybe the album really wasn't finished and they added it on?

 

Second NYC show added

 

So based on previous singles we should be getting a new song next Tuesday Nov 2 and another on Nov 30.

 

Change came out one day later than anticipated. If not Nov 2, I think we'll at least get something later that week. Hopefully it's the full announcement this time. Three months before release sounds like a reasonable time.

Both solo tours also start that week, Buck on Nov 2 and Adrianne on Nov 5.

 

New show announced at a new venue in Boston - April 13th

"50,000 square foot space located at 89 Guest St with a scalable capacity of 3,500 that will become New England's largest indoor general admission venue once it opens"

 

i’ll check this out when it drops. like buck’s solo stuff a lot

 

19 titles added to the ascap repo... it's known for containing mistakes and unreleased titles but it's something. also not typically listed in album order, UFOF/Two Hands tracks were added at the same time. notable exclusion is "Change"

If they have another double album waiting in the wings then we have heard pretty much nothing from it.


Also: Dragon New Warm Mountain, I Believe in You be the title (which I love btw). Though I think just a shortened Dragon New Warm Mountain is better.

 

I’m kind of anticipating an album announcement tomorrow or Wednesday with another single. We saw a couple Feb announcements last week with Spoon and Hurray for the Riff Raff so we’re at least in some window.

 

Agreed about an announcement coming this week. Here's an updated list of unreleased songs after removing the 20 assumed to be on Dragon... I'm guessing we've heard at least 5 songs from the rumored second double album.

Songs with confirmed names (newest to oldest):
- ingydar (full band)
- Once a Buncha Times (likely too new to be included)
- Happiness
- Bruiser
- Someone 2 (partial)
- Shadow Too
- Oldest (at 40:17)

Songs without confirmed names:
- "nobody's boy" (at 2:16:47)
- "city up north" (partial)
- "don't know what i'd do with you" (clips)
- "til i'm brave" (at 29:15)
- Geese (title assumed)
- Hear It (title assumed)
- "if love is blind"


also suspect "Love Love Love" might be "if love is blind"

 

They sound so good in this video

 

No announcement or single this week, breaking their 4 week schedule. Maybe they didn't want to distract from their solo tours starting and news will come next week instead?

 

Leaked album title and release date confirmed to be accurate. Announcement coming in the next day or two

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
