The indie folk band Big Thief from New York has announced its sixth studio album. “Double Infinity” will be released on September 5. The first single “Incomprehensible” can already be heard (see below)
In 2015, Big Thief was formed by front woman Adrienne Lenker, guitarist Buck Meek, drummer James Krivchenia and bassist Max Oleartchik, who left the band in 2024.
With their debut “Masterpiece” (2016) and the successor “Capacity” (2017), they were initially more under the radar, but with two further albums and a change of label, Big Thief made the breakthrough. In particular, the album “UFOF” (2019) brought them into the start of the US album charts and together with “Two Hands” several Grammy nominations.
The new “Double Infinity” record was recorded within about three weeks during the New York winter. Almost all recordings took place live, only overdubs were added in post -production. In addition to the members of Big Thief himself, ten other musicians also worked: inside the album.
Big Thief: New Song “Incomplay”
