The album's announcement is also paired by the release of lead single 'Incomprehensible,' a track which served as a staple of the band's 2024 summer tour, and carried over into vocalist and guitarist Adrianne Lenker's solo shows that same year.
The new record is also the first to be released by Big Thief as a trio, having announced the departure of longtime bassist Max Oleartchik in July 2024, citing 'interpersonal reasons' for his exit.
Double Infinity's impending release is also the latest in a series of happenings for Big Thief and its associated members this year. In February, Big Thief unveiled a new L.A. wildfires benefit EP, with Passional Relations collecting some of their 'favorite unreleased songs' to aid relief for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles.
In late April, Lenker would release the Live at Revolution Hall album, while drummer James Krivchenia released the record Performing Belief in early May. Days later, the group would announce a run of North American tour dates, with the Somersault Slide 360 Tour set to launch in September.
Big Thief first formed in 2015 following two years of Lenker and guitarist Buck Meek performing as a duo. Their debut album arrived in 2016, with their third album – 2019's U.F.O.F. – peaking at No. 142 on the Billboard 200. Their latest album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, would reach No. 31, and receive a Grammy nomination for best alternative album, and best alternative music performance for second single, 'Certainty.'

Beyoncé skips '16 Carriages,' flying car again Night 1 in D.C.: Are they permanently cut?
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered another dazzling performance during her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area, keeping safety at the forefront by once again cutting a hit song and signature flying car stunt from the show. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C. The concert marked Beyoncé's first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is also set to perform on July 7. During the Fourth of July show, Beyoncé once again skipped her single "16 Carriages" after she faced a technical mishap during her first concert in her hometown of Houston. During the H-Town opener, which took place at NRG stadium on June 28, Beyoncé was forced to pause the show because a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She told everyone to "stop" repeatedly before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. At the following Houston show, Beyoncé cut "16 Carriages" from the set list completely and avoided flying in the air in a car. During Thursday's show, fans wondered if she would bring back the song and the stunt. However, that question was soon answered. One fan wrote, "Yeah she's off that car for the rest of the tour, which means no more 16 Carriages? 😭💔" As fans know, Beyoncé first announced the eighth studio album in February 2024 during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, releasing singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." The tunes quickly gained popularity ahead of the album's full release March 29, 2024. It's unclear if Beyoncé will perform the song in any variation for the rest of the tour. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
