"Incomprehensible" comes from Big Thief's Double Infinity, released in June 2025, and it's Adrianne Lenker's song from the ground up: she wrote it, sings lead and plays guitar alongside Buck Meek. The circle around them is wide. James Krivchenia drums, Joshua Crumbly plays bass, Mikey Bushias sits at the piano, Mikel Patrick Avery adds percussion, and Laraaji brings a zither, while Meek, Hannah Cohen, June McDoom and Alena Spanger fill in the background vocals. Dom Monks produced and mixed it, and the whole thing has the loose, communal warmth of a song passed hand to hand around a room.
