There are bands that release albums. And there are bands that create entire worlds. Big Thief belong to the second kind. Founded in Brooklyn in 2014, Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia have developed from an insider tip into one of the most influential voices on the American indie scene in just a decade. Four Grammy nominations, millions of streams, critical acclaim from all sides. And yet her music never seems calculated. On the contrary: it remains raw, vulnerable, permeable - like a notebook that you find by chance in a street café.
The new album "Double Infinity" impressively confirms this image. Created in the warm wood paneling of the legendary Power Station Studio in New York, while outside the winter turned the streets of Brooklyn into ice, it sounds like intimacy and vastness at the same time. For three weeks, Big Thief played the way they prefer to play: together in one room, nine hours a day, without a double bottom, without digital perfection. Minimal overdubbing, maximum immediacy. The result is a collection of songs that revolve around the big themes - childhood, transience, the struggle with one's own finiteness. And yet they still seek the light. Adrianne Lenker, the fragile but unrelenting voice of this band, describes the core of "Double Infinity" as follows: "It's about the suffering of being human, but also about the joy of it - about moments in which pain and ecstasy coexist." These are songs that set you in motion, not loudly, not obtrusively, but in the way a landscape changes when the light changes.
But Big Thief are above all a live band. Anyone who has ever seen them knows what that means: no two concerts are the same, every piece is born anew, transformed, improvised. "The most exciting thing about seeing Big Thief on tour is the regularity with which miracles happen," wrote the British i Paper. A freedom unfolds on stage that seems almost anachronistic in times of thoroughly choreographed pop shows. Songs stretch and collapse into one another as if the musicians were turning the pages of a shared dream diary.
In 2026, they bring this magic back to Europe. With the "Somersault Slide 360" tour, the band will play some of the biggest headline shows of their career - including four concerts in Germany. For fans who want to experience these exceptional moments live, it's best to make a note now. Because when Big Thief take to the stage, anything is possible.
