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.
Big Thief embark on the first leg of their Somersault Slide 360 Tour in support of Double Infinity in under two weeks’ time. The extensive tour, their first US shows in over a year – includes stops at Berkeley’s The Greek Theater, Los Angeles’ The Hollywood Bowl, Boston’s MGM Music Hall, New York’s Forest Hills Stadium, and their first show in Mexico at Teatro Metropolitan.
Announced earlier this week, Big Thief’s European and UK leg of the tour will take place next Spring and includes some of the band’s biggest headline shows of their career thus far. Tickets for UK/Europe go on general sale on Thursday 11th September at 10am BST (11am CET). For more information head to the Big Thief website here.
