Big Thief have announced that their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, will arrive on September 5 via 4AD. The project’s lead single, “Incomprehensible,” is out now.
The first cut is a joyous amalgamation of sounds, led by crunchy psych-folk guitars, a smorgasbord of percussion, and the delicate power of Adrianne Lenker’s voice as she sings, “Incomprehensible.”
The verses feature her recollecting high school stories before bringing things to the present as she sings: “In two days it’s my birthday and I’ll be 33/ That doesn’t really matter next to eternity/But I like a double number, and I like an odd one too.”
Double Infinity is the follow-up to 2022’s Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, and was recorded last winter at the Power Station in New York. The band made the album with a community of musicians including Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas. Double Infinity was produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks.
