Big Thief have announced a new album called “Double Infinity”. The follow-up to 2022’s “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You” arrives on September 5th via 4AD Records. It’s led by the misty, kinetic new single ‘Incomprehensible’.
Following the departure of bassist Max Oleartchik, Big Thief made the new album as a trio. They recorded it last winter, over the span of three weeks at New York’s Power Station, with producer Dom Monks. Its cast of collaborators includes Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, and Mikey Buishas. According to a press release, the musicians “would play for nine hours a day, tracking together — simultaneously — improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries.”
Big Thief will release their sixth studio album, “Double Infinity“, on 5th September 2025.
“Double Infinity” is the follow-up to 2022’s Grammy-nominated album, “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You”, recorded last winter, For three solid weeks, the trio would ride bicycles on frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in Power’s Station’s warm wood-panelled room.
“How can beauty that is living be anything but true?” Adrianne asks as she drives nose against the future with childhood mementos on ‘Incomprehensible’. She understands, “everything I see from now on will be something new.” The silver hairs on her shoulders are new as well. Yet fear of aging is cracked by proof. If a life is shaped by living, “Let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair.” Being born, then staying a while, remains the greatest mystery. Adrianne claims her place and time. “Incomprehensible”, let me be.”
