Big Thief recorded Double Infinity earlier this year in a Manhattan studio with a rotating cast of guests, including Laraaji, Hannah Cohen, June McDoom, and Alena Spanger.

Additional new releases from David Byrne, Lucrecia Dalt, James K, Shame, Saint Etienne, Brian Dunne, Suede, La Dispute, and Flur are available on streaming services, with weekly recommendations offered via a New Music Friday newsletter.
