release: 5th september 2025
Double Infinity finds Big Thief at a crossroads, transforming change into renewal. Following the departure of bassist Max Oleartchik, the remaining trio embrace both intimacy and experimentation, creating an album that feels at once stripped back and boundless. Adrianne Lenker’s songwriting remains the emotional anchor, fragile, searching, and deeply human, while the band surround her voice with shifting textures that move from whispered folk to kaleidoscopic psychedelia. The result is music that feels alive and communal, shaped by collaboration rather than loss. Songs like “Incomprehensible” and “Los Angeles” bloom slowly, revealing new colors with each listen. Double Infinity captures a band unafraid to deconstruct their sound in order to rediscover its essence. It is not about reinvention for its own sake, but about trusting that vulnerability can lead to transcendence. with the musicians as they move between vulnerability and exuberance, introspection and celebration. Each listening experience reveals subtle layers of sound and feeling, a testament to the communal spirit in which it was made.
