Adrienne Lenker fra Big Thief annonserer ikke mindre enn to nye album, songs og instrumentals, som begge kommer 23. oktober. I dag slapp hun sin nye singel «anything».Singelen er et dypdykk inn i Lenkers introspektive og magiske katalog. Backet av soft fingerspill refererer hennes magnetiske vokal til minner om varmende solstråler, søt mango og familiekrangler på julaften.
Albumene songs og instrumentals er to distinkte samlinger, begge skrevet og spilt inn i april etter at Big Thiefs turné naturlig nok ble avbrutt på grunn av pandemien, og Lenker isolerte seg i en ettroms fjellhytte i Massachusetts. Albumene er spilt inn 100% analogt, i samarbeid med Philip Weinrobe.
“I had a handful of songs that I was planning on recording, but by the time Phil arrived I was on a whole new level of heartsick and the songs were flying through my ears. I was basically lying in the dirt half the time. We went with the flow. A lot of the focus was on getting nourishment from our meals. We cooked directly on the woodstove, and we went on walks to the creek every day to bathe. I’m grateful that this music has come into existence. These songs have helped me heal. I hope that at least in some small way this music can be a friend to you.”
