Listen: Big Thief – ‘Los Angeles’ + ‘Grandmother (feat. Laraaji)’

Big Thief release two new singles, ‘Grandmother’ and ‘Los Angeles’, from their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, out 5 September 2025. The singles follow last month’s “euphoric ode to the all-encompassing haze of desire,” (Paste) ‘All Night All Day’and lead single ‘Incomprehensible’.

‘Grandmother’ is the first song all three members of Big Thief wrote together and grapples with generational love and pain. To her grandmother, Adrianne Lenker sings: “It’s alright, everything that happened, happened / So what’s the use of holding? It’s unfolding / We’re all insane / We are made of love / We are also made of pain.” In the song’s chorus, Lenker concludes, “Gonna turn it all into rock and roll.” Laraaji features on backing vocals and zither.

Classic and steadfast, ‘Los Angeles’ is a song of revival about past lovers turning into friends. “I’ll follow you forever. Even without looking. You call we come together,” Lenker sings, reflecting on how time may reshape love, but can’t sink it. The chorus names the magic spell that first bound them, and still braids their lives: “You sang for me. You sang for me.” It may be the most immediate and classic song the band have yet released.
