Big Red Machine team up with Taylor Swift for ‘Renegade’

Having confirmed that their new album, ‘How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last?’, will be arriving on 27th August via 37d03d, Big Red Machine - aka Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and The National’s Aaron Dessner - are sharing their eagerly-awaited collab with Taylor Swift, ‘Renegade’.

“While we were making ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’ last year, Taylor and I sometimes talked about experimenting and writing songs together some day for Big Red Machine,” Aaron explains. “Making music with your friends just to make it — that’s how Big Red Machine started and has grown — and that’s how Renegade came about too. This song was something we wrote after we finished evermore and it dawned on us that this was a BRM song. Taylor’s words hit me so hard when I heard her first voice memo and still do, every time. Justin lifted the song further into the heavens, and my brother [Bryce Dessner]’s strings and drummer Jason Treuting add so much. The feeling and sound of this song feel very much at the heart of ‘How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last?’ I’m so grateful to Taylor for continuing to share her incredible talent with me and that we are still finding excuses to make music together.”
