Big Thief Mull ‘Infinity' On Upcoming Album
Big Thief are in a New York state of mind on their upcoming sixth album, Double Infinity, which will emerge Sept. 5 from 4AD. The nine-track project was recorded last winter at the Big Apple's Power Station studio in daily nine-hour improvised sessions with such collaborators as Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery and Mikey Buishas.
First single 'Incomprehensible' is out now, and album pre-orders are available here. On it, frontwoman Adrianne Lenker mulls childhood memories and the prospect of aging. 'In two days, it's my birthday and I'll be 33 / that doesn't really matter next to eternity,' she sings.
