Big Thief have released a new single, Vampire Empire.
The indie-folk track will be released by the New York quartet on 7" vinyl through 4AD on October 20, with the unreleased Born For Loving You on the b-side.
Having become a fan favourite via live shows, the emotional song is led by Adrianne Lenker's distinctive vocals. It arrives off the back of their fifth studio album, 2022's 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You'. Lenker said:
"For me, it’s about getting out of toxic internal patterns – leaving the empire of energy drains that obscure pure essence, learning about what healthy boundaries are, and finding the power to implement them for the possibility of giving and receiving (both inwardly and outwardly) unbroken and infinite Love."
The band will resume their current North American tour with a set at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago on Saturday (July 22).
Big Thief's guitarist Buck Meek recently announced details of his third solo album, 'Haunted Mountain', due out on August 25.
