Big Thief Details New Album ‘Double Infinity’ & Shares ‘Incomprehensible’ Lead Single

Big Thief will issue a new album, Double Infinity, on September 5 through 4AD. The band previewed their sixth studio record with the album-opening lead single, “Incomprehensible.”

Big Thief – Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia – recorded Double Infinity last winter at Power Station in New York City. The trio rode their bikes between Manhattan and Brooklyn over a three-week period which saw the band joined by Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery and Mikey Buishas.

A description of the process detailed their participation:

Laraaji created drones with zither and an iPad and sang intuitive vocal melodies. Joshua Crumbly played bass; Mikey Buishas made live tape loops and played keys; Mikel Patrick Avery, Jon Nellen, and Caleb Michel played percussion; Adam Brisbin played guitar; and Hannah Cohen, June McDoom, and Alena Spanger sang background vocals.

Nine-hour days of live recording resulted in what became Double Infinity, which features limited overdubs. Longtime band collaborator Dom Monks produced, engineered and mixed the nine-track follow-up to 2022’s Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You.

Big Thief previously announced the first leg of their 2025 Somersault Slide 360 Tour with performances across North America. The band’s first substantial run of shows in the United States in more than a year are slated to begin in September.
