BBT Big Thief – Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in Youįolk-rock at heart but spanning bluegrass, squalling rock, scratchy trip-hop and more on this 20-track double album, songs continue to pour from one of the most prolific bands in the US today. Hopping from trap to mambo to house to EDM to wistful pop to every pace of reggaeton, he evokes every possible mood of summer. Even if you don’t understand Spanish, his vocal lines are so packed with poignancy that little romances and histories suggest themselves anyway. The world’s most popular pop artist, if we’re using streaming data as the measure, is also one of its most gifted.
