Big Thief release “All Night All Day,” the second single from their sixth studio album, Double Infinity (4AD), out September 5th. 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 love 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 that love is neither bitter nor sweet, but something deeper than both—deeper than sensation.  It is the “eye behind the essence” which is bigger than naming. Making love can be the expression of this nameless thing.

Double Infinity 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 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.

Double Infinity will be released digitally and on cassette, CD, and standard black vinyl. Limited green and ‘Sparkle Universe’ vinyl editions. For pre-order information, head here.
