Big Thief have shared yet another single off their upcoming 20-track album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, which is due to release on Feb. 11, 2022. The track is titled “Simulation Swarm” and has been performed by Big Thief at their live performances since they started touring back in September of 2021.

The track’s immediate bright sonic flow, thoughtful riffs and steady pace have placed it among the most beloved out of all the tracks Big Thief have shared thus far. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Adrianne Lenker talked about the inspiration behind the songs.

“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 shared. “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.

The release follows seven singles already shared off Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You: “No Reason,” “Spud Infinity,” “Time Escaping,” “Change,” “Little Things,” “Sparrow,” and, “Certainty.”

Big Thief will set out on a North American tour in the spring, kicking off at the State Theater of Ithaca in Ithaca, N.Y., on April 12.
