Like Jeff Bezos and a lot of CEOs profiteering off the supply chain crisis, Adrianne Lenker did great during the pandemic. For different reasons and in different ways, of course.

While a lot of musicians saw their star wane without the possibility of touring through Covid-19, the momentum of Big Thief and Lenker’s solo projects could not be slowed. Now that venues have reopened widely, fans who discovered her music can finally see her perform in person.

On songs Lenker keeps it simple and prizes an acoustic/analog aesthetic that comes through in the spare recording style. No ten thousand layers of post-production gloss on this one. Lenker’s voice warps and warbles its way through a strong list of new folk machinations.

Our highlighted track “two reverse” leads off the album with grace and beauty. Embedding this very track is currently diabled, so we’ll embed what we can and you can take your chances.
