Album Review: Adrianne Lenker - songs + instrumentals
“This emotional frailty seems to have decreased the barrier between her own life-force and that of every living, dying and decaying thing around her. She seems keyed-in to existence and in such a rarefied state that simply singing about colours and animals – countless of which crop up across songs – vividly put us in situ in the Massachusetts foothills as she works through her grief. She has found a finer balance between her more abstract images and cutting to the quick, which makes her gentle poetry more impactful than ever.”
Adrianne Lenker, the magical Big Thief leader, has a new solo release out. Of course, I had to get involved in reviewing it. Take a look over on Beats Per Minute.
