Big Thief Double Infinity LP

Double Infinity is the follow-up to 2022's Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, and was recorded in the winter of 2024 at the Power Station, New York City. For three solid weeks, the trio would ride bicycles on frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in Power Station's warm wood-panelled room. Together with a community of musicians (Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas), they would play for nine hours a day, tracking together — simultaneously — improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries. The album was recorded live with minimal overdubs. Double Infinity was produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks.

"How can beauty that is living be anything but true?" Adrianne Lenker asks as she drives nose against the future with childhood mementos on lead single "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."
