Big Thief Share New Singles ‘Grandmother [ft. Laraaji]' & ‘Los Angeles'
Big Thief release two new singles, ' Grandmother ' and ' Los Angeles ', from their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, out 5 September 2025. The singles follow last month's 'euphoric ode to the all-encompassing haze of desire,' (Paste) ' All Night All Day ' and lead single ' Incomprehensible '. 'Grandmother' is the first song all three members of Big Thief wrote together and grapples with generational love and pain. To her grandmother, Adrianne Lenker sings: 'It's alright, everything that happened, happened / So what's the use of holding? It's unfolding / We're all insane / We are made of love / We are also made of pain.' In the song's chorus, Lenker concludes, 'Gonna turn it all into rock and roll.' Laraaji features on backing vocals and zither. Classic and steadfast, 'Los Angeles' is a song of revival about past lovers turning into friends. 'I'll follow you forever. Even without looking. You call we come together,' Lenker sings, reflecting on how time may reshape love, but can't sink it. The chorus names the magic spell that first bound them, and still braids their lives: 'You sang for me. You sang for me.' It may be the most immediate and classic song the band have yet released. Double Infinity was recorded last winter 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's 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. Double Infinity will be released digitally and on cassette, CD, and standard black vinyl. Limited green and 'Sparkle Universe' vinyl editions will be available via indie retailers and Big Thief/4AD webstores respectively.

Big Thief Announce New Album, ‘Double Infinity'
More than three years on from their last studio record, New York trio Big Thief have detailed their sixth album, Double Infinity. Set for release on Sept. 5 via 4AD, Double Infinity serves as the follow-up to the band's Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. Recorded at New York City's Power Station over the winter with longtime collaborator Dom Monks, the nine-track release arrived as the result of three weeks of marathon nine-hour sessions spent working with a tight-knit community of musicians.

The new record is also the first to be released by Big Thief as a trio, having announced the departure of longtime bassist Max Oleartchik in July 2024, citing 'interpersonal reasons' for his exit. Double Infinity's impending release is also the latest in a series of happenings for Big Thief and its associated members this year. In February, Big Thief unveiled a new L.A. wildfires benefit EP, with Passional Relations collecting some of their 'favorite unreleased songs' to aid relief for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles. In late April, Lenker would release the Live at Revolution Hall album, while drummer James Krivchenia released the record Performing Belief in early May. Days later, the group would announce a run of North American tour dates, with the Somersault Slide 360 Tour set to launch in September. Big Thief first formed in 2015 following two years of Lenker and guitarist Buck Meek performing as a duo. Their debut album arrived in 2016, with their third album – 2019's U.F.O.F. – peaking at No. 142 on the Billboard 200. Their latest album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, would reach No. 31, and receive a Grammy nomination for best alternative album, and best alternative music performance for second single, 'Certainty.'
