Today, Big Thief release Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, the group’s new 20-track double album. In conjunction, they also unveil a charming and insightful video for one of its tracks, ‘Red Moon’. In order to bring in some new energy, they invited long-time friend Mat Davidson of Twain to join in on one of the DNWMIBIY recording sessions, specifically, the one that took place with Scott McMicken in his home studio in Tucson, AZ. This was the first time that Big Thief had ever brought in a fifth instrumentalist for such a significant contribution. His fiddle and vocals weave a heavy presence, notably on single ‘Spud Infinity’ and the upbeat roadhouse celebration ‘Red Moon’. The video – filmed by Adrianne Lenker’s brother Noah – captures the live take that eventually ended up on the album, placing the viewer literally right in the middle of the action.
