Double Infinity finds Big Thief emerging from a period of intense change; the now-trio (following the departure of bassist Max Olearchik) expands to an 13-piece band for this LP, blessed with immaculate all-analogue production from Dom Monks.

Recorded live to tape in NYC’s Power Station Studios, the LP boasts a vivid and full sound, gloriously serving these intricate and rich songs. Adrianne Lenker further displays her immaculate command of the craft, with the live-jammed arrangements offering plenty of room to breathe; never getting too cluttered despite the fact there’s sometimes three (!) drummers in the mix, and the pristine production deserves to be blasted LOUD through good speakers. An essential listen from probably the greatest band in the game. Terrific.
