Ahead of this Friday’s release of new album Double Infinity, Big Thief have announced details of the UK and European leg of their Somersault Slide 360 Tour. Taking place in the Spring of 2026, Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia will play some of the biggest headline shows of their career thus far
Double Infinity is the Big Thief’s sixth studio album and features the singles ‘Grandmother [ft. Laraaji]’, ‘Los Angeles’, ‘All Night All Day’ and ‘Incomprehensible’. 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 studio’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.
