Big Thief have released the official studio version of ‘Vampire Empire’, a song they performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert back in March. The band recorded the track at Guissona, Spain’s Teatre de cal Eril Studio while touring in support of 2022’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You. Listen to it below.
Speaking about ‘Vampire Empire’, Adrianne Lenker said in a statement: “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.”
On October 20, Big Thief will release a 7” featuring ‘Vampire Empire’ along with another unreleased track, ‘Born for Loving You’, as the B-Side.
