Overview

• Double Infinity was released on September 5 and marks Big Thief’s sixth album and first recorded as a trio following bassist Max Oleartchik’s exit last year.
• The core members Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia tracked the record live over three weeks at the Power Station with a large cast of guests.
• Sessions often featured up to 11 musicians playing at once as the group built arrangements in the room rather than isolating parts.
• The trio sought a unifying trance and drone through-line, with ambient pioneer Laraaji contributing droning textures.
• The album’s cassette-length, nine-song constraint emphasizes focus and contrast with their sprawling 2022 set, while preserving spontaneity from extended takes like No Fear to laughter captured on the single Los Angeles.
