Big Thief’s massive 20-track album was released less than a year ago Dragon New Warm MountainThe indie band has released another single.
“Simulation Swarm” kicks off with sweet, fluttering guitar, as Adrianne Lenker’s voice weaves in and out like a stream. Recent Rolling Stoneshe explained that the track was inspired in part by personal experiences. She also mentioned a four-day stay in Brooklyn in 2020. Prior to its release, the band has been performing it on tour since last September, and it’s become a fan favorite.
“I’ve been getting notes that the music has been helping people love and accept themselves in dark times, and to me, that right there is what I want to do,” Lenker told RS. “I don’t want to get to a certain level in my career or be seen as this or that. I just want people to come back to themselves and be able to accept, love or forgive themselves more fully. I want my music to be a guide to people to get back closer to themselves — not to me.”
