Sonically expansive in its scope, the record features an ensemble of musicians including Laraaji, June McDoom, Alena Spanger, Hannah Cohen, Joshua Crumbly, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas, Jon Nellen, Adam Brisbin and Caleb Michel.

It was winter in Manhattan. The streets were frozen and still the band rode bicycles to the Power Station on 53rd and back to Brooklyn every day for three weeks. Just the tip of the iceberg of time put into creating this body of songs. Three weeks that would mark the birth of Double Infinity - the album that constitutes a grand departure for Big Thief. An ultramodern community of musicians gathered together in the warm wooden room where Bruce once stood. They all tracked together - simultaneously - improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries.

Laraaji created drones with zither and an iPad and sang intuitive vocal melodies. Joshua Crumbly played bass; Mikey Buishas made live tape loops and played keys; Mikel Patrick Avery, Jon Nellen, and Caleb Michel played percussion; Adam Brisbin played guitar; and Hannah Cohen, June McDoom, and Alena Spanger sang background vocals. Along with core members Adrianne, Buck, and James, the group played for nine hours a day.

Double Infinity is the archive of this play. It could only have been produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks.

Double Infinity, reaches into the idea of inner and outer worlds, and the body as the bridge. It speaks to the purgatory created by the human brain, always looking to the past or future, between the things we’ve lost and the things we want, between desire and regret.
