The appearance on Colbert came mid-way through a tour for Big Thief, who are currently making their way across the United States in support of 2022 album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. They will soon make their way to the United Kingdom and Europe for further dates.

Big Thief shared Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You in February last year. It featured the singles "Little Things," "Sparrow," "Change," "Time Escaping," "No Reason," "Spud Infinity," and "Simulation Swarm." Big Thief member James Krivchenia shared a solo album called Blood Karaoke in March. In June, Big Thief announced shows in Israel and quickly canceled them after backlash.
