Big Thief performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, breaking out the “Double Infinity” single “Grandmother.” Backing the nonchalant trio were multiple percussionists on wind chimes, congas, shakers, and more, as well as backup singers, a bassist, and an additional guitarist.
“Double Infinity” came out last month via 4AD Records. In addition to “Grandmother,” it includes the singles “Incomprehensible,” “All Night All Day,” “Los Angeles,” and “Words,” the latter of which got the music video treatment—the band’s first proper music video since 2017. The album also marked Big Thief’s first record since the departure of bassist Max Oleartchik.
If that live rendition of “Grandmother” has you itching to see Big Thief live, then act soon. They’re currently on tour in support of their new album. Those North American dates are ongoing,
