From Brooklyn, NY

Big Thief’s new album, Double Infinity, is their sixth album and first without [bassist, Max] Oleartchik. Instead of closing ranks, the remaining trio loosened their grip, decamped to New York’s Power Station studio with producer Dom Monks, and invited a constellation of musicians they admired—including the new age experimental composer Laraaji—to improvise live in the room. They tracked together, self-arranging around the demos Lenker brought to the studio: “The rocks we’d form a river around,” as she put it. For a group long defined by its closeness, it was a way of testing whether the band’s covenant could hold even as its structure shifted. Song forms were pried open by free improvisation: tensions dissolved, sounds glimmered, and turned extraterrestrial. The music became loose, billowy, almost eerily calming. -Pitchfork
