Big Thief - Double Infinity (September 5, 2025) • Page 8

Liking this a lot

 

Man I don’t get some of the response to this. I think it’s really good. Maybe their bar is too high or something but this would be better than a lot of their peers best IMO.

 

Bought pre-sale tickets for the UK/EU tour

 

happy with you

 

I am curious to see if we get another record in 2026. They’re obviously still very prolific, based on what we’ve heard about these sessions and the Dragon sessions. Sounds like so many songs floating around out there. Very curious about the tour and if we’ll start to hear some new songs alongside the Double Infinity tracks.

also, I just still find this record to be so lovely. I think after numerous spins by favorites are “Los Angeles” and “Double Infinity”.

 

Was feeling let down/unsure about this at first but ended up loving it by the end of the album.

Grandmother is stunning. The closer is also instantly god tier Big Thief for me.

 

Have obviously known this for awhile but Incomprehensible is such an incredible piece of writing

 

I literally came to bump this thread to say exactly this, and come to see it posted only two posts above…but fuck it, I gotta post it anyway.

I was going to post some snippet of lyrics but it’s just the whole damn song. It is incredible.

 

This whole thing is just so good

 

Pretty sure they have at least one whole other record in the can?

 

Do you know this for sure?

 

I don’t understand how a song like Los Angeles can be this good. I could say this about like 95% of their catalogue but where does this magic come from?!

album has been hitting so hard the past couple days

 

I wanna say this is more than conjecture but I swear I saw something about this earlier in the year.

 

Yea Steven Hyden was saying on IndieCast that there’s no song that just knocks you on your ass and I’m like……have you heard “Los Angeles” or “Double Infinity”?

 

It seems likely, just given their track record. Last two album cycles have been double records. UFOF/Two Hands, and Dragon which is a tru blue double album.

their discography does have this pairs theme to it in general. The cover art of Capacity and Masterpiece have synchronicity. The art for UFOF/Two Hands. Dragon is two records. Would make sense.

 

still wanna hear those 20 other songs from the Dragon sessions lol

 

yeah that whole discussion those two had I was thinking "am I listening to the right album?" haha

 

Same. Weird convo.

 

having looked into this more I found out the first 4 songs on that Passional Relations EP they put out for charity are from the Dragon sessions, so at least we got some of them lol

man they're absolute tunes too, Imagination is easily one of their best

 

Some of those Dragon bside songs were re-recorded for Bright Future too. Hopefully we get the rest some day

As for a follow-up album, it is suspected that they recorded in Nashville a few months ago. These are the hints so far:

1 - On May 3, they posted this request to borrow a table and chairs for three weeks. In the past, they've mentioned how significant group meals are while recording. Then three weeks later on May 22, Buck posted that he was at a Gillian Welch concert at the Ryman.

2 - Recently someone posted on reddit that Iris Dement said she recently worked with Big Thief but it is supposed to be a secret. Iris is one of the heroes/inspirations that they've mentioned in the past. Maybe not related but last year they also went to Nashville briefly to write together with Lucinda Williams

3 - In the Incomprehensible announcement, they referred to the songs on the album as "this batch", suggesting maybe there is another batch.

Double Infinity was recorded end of January, album released 7.5 months later. If they follow the exact same timeline, a second album could come mid-January. I don't think they'll do that but I do suspect it will be out before the European tour in April

 

I did see a break in touring next spring was it? Can’t remember.

 

YES THANK YOU IT WAS THE 'THIS BATCH' COMMENT. VINDICATION.

 

Also. “No Fear” really hitting these last few spins.

 

Everything they’ve released has been fantastic, but this is the most I’ve connected with an entire album of theirs since UFOF.

And yeah, No Fear has grown on me big time.
