Are we going to be sweating while we're making this music? Are we going to be cold while we're making this music? What are we going to be seeing around us in the landscapes? LENKER: The different environments, climates were part of our thinking as well. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "DRAGON NEW WARM MOUNTAIN I BELIEVE IN YOU")īIG THIEF: (Singing) It's a little bit magic, like a river of morning geese in the new warm mountain where the stone face forms and speaks.
Rambunctious, hot, sweaty session in Tucson, Ariz.
The third session was the pensive, celestial session in Telluride, Colo. KRIVCHENIA: Second session was the bombastic session in Topanga Canyon, Calif. KRIVCHENIA: First session we did was in upstate New York. (SOUNDBITE OF BIG THIEF SONG, "DRAGON NEW WARM MOUNTAIN I BELIEVE IN YOU") KRIVCHENIA: We came up with this idea of structuring the record by recording in four different places with four different engineers with four different batches of Adrianne's songs. Follow red, crooked courses, shadows on the moonlit floor. It's called "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You." The 20-track project, which Krivchenia also produced, was recorded in four distinct locations across the country.īIG THIEF: (Singing) Once again, empty horses gallop through the violet door. NADWORNY: For the past two years, they've channeled their collaborative spirit into that new album, which just came out. KRIVCHENIA: If someone doesn't feel passionate about something, they'll try and be convinced and, like, heard. LENKER: We do everything together as a band. They're all in a house together, rehearsing and decompressing from making their latest album.
NADWORNY: The other two members of the band are nearby. (SOUNDBITE OF BIG THIEF SONG, "SIMULATION SWARM") KRIVCHENIA: No, that means I'm going to talk. LENKER: Oh, when you tap me, it means I'm on. NADWORNY: That's lead guitarist and singer Adrianne Lenker and drummer James Krivchenia figuring out their system for answering questions in a radio interview. The band Big Thief is a tight-knit bunch.
