If you've ever seen Big Thief perform, you already know that Adrianne Lenker is riveting. From moments of raw aggression to delicate vulnerability, Lenker has command of the stage like few others.
So it's an inspired turn that her new album, Bright Future, was recorded live to tape in a room without a single computer screen in sight. In 2022, Lenker decamped to Double Infinity, a mysterious studio in the woods, to work with Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson and Josefin Runsteen.
She put so much trust in producer Philip Weinrobe behind the console that Lenker never had to listen back to hear what they cut. In this session, Lenker shares songs from Bright Future, performed at Electric Lady Studios in New York. Enjoy.
