Big Thief Mull ‘Infinity’ On Upcoming Album

Big Thief are in a New York state of mind on their upcoming sixth album, Double Infinity, which will emerge Sept. 5 from 4AD. The nine-track project was recorded last winter at the Big Apple’s Power Station studio in daily nine-hour improvised sessions with such collaborators as Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery and Mikey Buishas.

First single “Incomprehensible” is out now, and album pre-orders are available here. On it, frontwoman Adrianne Lenker mulls childhood memories and the prospect of aging. “In two days, it’s my birthday and I’ll be 33 / that doesn’t really matter next to eternity,” she sings.

Double Infinity is the follow-up to the 2022 Grammy-nominated album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, which reached a career-best No. 31 on the Billboard 200 and No. 15 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. It was produced by longtime colleague Dom Monks.

Many of the new songs, including “Incomprehensible,” “Words,” No Fear” and “Grandmother,” were debuted during a handful of 2024 live shows. Big Thief will return to the road in support of Double Infinity starting Sept. 17 in Sacramento, Ca. The band’s Sept. 27 show at Los Angeles’17,500-capacity Hollywood Bowl will be their biggest non-festival headlining set to date.
