Big Thief have shared a video for ‘Words’ from their new album ‘Double Infinity’
Recorded live at Power Station with collaborators including Laraaji and June McDoom.
Big Thief have released a new video for ‘Words’, taken from their sixth studio album ‘Double Infinity’, which arrived last week. The clip marks the band’s first non-live performance music video since 2017’s ‘Mythological Beauty’ and coincides with the start of their Somersault Slide 360 Tour next week.
Directed by Adrianne Lenker’s brother, Noah Lenker, the video accompanies a track that sits alongside recent singles ‘Grandmother [ft. Laraaji]’, ‘Los Angeles’, ‘All Night All Day’ and ‘Incomprehensible’.
Noah Lenker says: “The finite meanings of our words encompass the boundaries of how we perceive reality. Yet… there are times when cosmic bubbles breach through our spirit’s wellspring and issue forth other sensations—glimmers of possibilities, ineffable vastness, and mystagogic connectedness beyond the horizon where language dissolves. Do we wield words, or do our words wield us? And how may we reshape and shape anew words that will better aid us? Sometimes we must play with the letters of our alphabet soup, sometimes we must combust our pencils to then scribe novel glyphs of empowerment into the sands of time.”
