I have a really high standard for Big Thief, and have a nostalgic connection to their sound in their first couple albums.
Big Thief has a new album, as does Zach Top, a young country singer with roots in old country. And the Icelandic-Chinese singer Laufey brings a classical-music and jazz influence to her pop songs.
Big Thief has a way of asking the big questions by focusing on the smallest details. NPR's A Martinez speaks with the indie band about "Double Infinity," their sixth studio album.
