Description
Adrianne Lenker’s genius has fully blossomed on this monumental double LP, which seamlessly blends her ambiguous melodies and absorbing narratives with a yearning for classic Americana and the band’s indie-rock leanings.
A double-LP can be daunting, but see this one as an adventure, taking familiar themes and rendering them in new and fascinating form. Highlights are legion, including the ragtime fiddle of “Red Moon”, the wonderful rolling “Spallow”, folk-drone “Wake Me Up
To Drive”, MBV-like “Flower Of Blood” and brilliant spiralling “Simulation Swarm”. Instantly satisfying, but its charms and mysteries will resound for years. PETER WATTS, UNCUT.
This double album ‘Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You’, with 20 tracks and a fittingly long title, is out February 11, 2022. (The title comes from a lyric on one of Lenker’s solo songs, “anything.”) The band recorded the album in four separate locations: upstate New York; Topanga Canyon, California; near Telluride, Colorado; and Tucson, Arizona.
