Since forming in 2015, Big Thief have been busy with their latest, Double Infinity being their sixth studio album. This also follows up singer Adrianne Lenker’s excellent solo album from last year, Bright Future. Songs such lead track “Incomprehensible” and the meandering “No Fear” layer on effects on top of very good indie rock songs. “Los Angeles” keeps driving but in a laidback way, singing about the city where “the ocean is bright and blue”, “Words” adds fuzzy guitar to the sound.
The ten verses of the title track rollout easily before the album closes with three very good tracks including “Grandmother” that features the vocalizing of Larraji and the repeated lines of “Happy With You”. The band’s first without original bassist Max Oleartchik is an easy album to listen to, drifts along while also pulling up some weeds in its crystal waters.
