Big Thief release ‘All Night All Day’. the second single from their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, out 5 September 2025. Following lead single ‘Incomprehensible’, boasting “crunchy psych-folk guitars, a smorgasbord of percussion, and the delicate power of Adrianne Lenker’s voice”, ‘All Night All Day’ is an expression of love and desire without shame. Lenker sings: “Swallow poison swallow sugar / Sometimes they taste the same / But I know your is neither / And love is just a name/ It’s a thing we say for what pulls through / ‘Til we come together.” Here, she asserts love is neither bitter nor sweet, but something deeper than both – deeper than sensation. It is the “Eye behind the essence / Still, unmovable, unchanging,” as she sings in the song’s closing lines.
Double Infinity is the follow-up to the group’s 2022’s Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. It was recorded last winter at the Power Station, New York City. For three solid weeks, the trio would ride bicycles on frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in Power’s Station’s warm wood-panelled room. Together with a community of musicians (Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas) they would play for nine hours a day, tracking together – simultaneously – improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries. The album was recorded live with minimal overdubs. Double Infinity was produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks.
“How can beauty that is living be anything but true?” Adrianne asks as she drives nose against the future with childhood mementos on ‘Incomprehensible’. She understands, “everything I see from now on will be something new.” The silver hairs on her shoulders are new as well. Yet fear of aging is cracked by proof. If a life is shaped by living, “Let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair.” Being born, then staying a while, remains the greatest mystery. Adrianne claims her place and time. “Incomprehensible, let me be.”
Double Infinity will be released digitally and on cassette, CD, and standard black vinyl. Limited green and ‘Sparkle Universe’ vinyl editions will be available via indie retailers and Big Thief/4AD webstores respectively. For pre-order information, head here.
