Big Thief Debut New Triple Album, Horsepower, Live in Nashville

Many of the tracks across the set list have been kicking around the group or Lenker’s live sets for years. Two of the songs—“Carry,” and “Space and Time”—the band debuted back in May during a session in a field for Belgium’s Radio 1.Big Thief released their most recent album (and first as a trio), Double Infinity, in 2025.
