Big Thief performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, breaking out the Double Infinity single “Grandmother.” Backing the nonchalant trio were multiple percussionists on wind chimes, congas, shakers, and more, as well as backup singers, a bassist, and an additional guitarist. Watch a replay of the performance below.
If that live rendition of “Grandmother” has you itching to see Big Thief live, then act soon. They’re currently on tour in support of their new album. Those North American dates are ongoing, but will wrap up next month on November 7.
Double Infinity came out last month via 4AD. In addition to “Grandmother,” it includes the singles “Incomprehensible,” “All Night All Day,” “Los Angeles,” and “Words,” the latter of which got the music video treatment—the band’s first proper music video since 2017. The album also marked Big Thief’s first record since the departure of bassist Max Oleartchik.
