The Vancouver artist leans into her singer-songwriter roots, adding a dash of country twang to her lyrical storytelling.
Fresh off the heels of her Grammy- and BRIT-nominated solo album Bright Future, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker is back with a dreamy new release: Live at Revolution Hall. Spanning 43 tracks and clocking in at two blissful hours, this isn’t your average live album—it’s a mixtape of magical moments captured over three days on her 2024 tour.
Recorded straight to reel-to-reel and cassette, the analogue album features everything from fan favourites and deep cuts to unreleased gems—like the gorgeous new track “happiness,” out today. Lenker is joined by musical kindred spirits Nick Hakim on piano and Josefin Runsteen on violin, with producer Andrew Sarlo capturing the whole thing in deliciously lo-fi fidelity that makes you feel like you’re floating above the crowd—or hanging out backstage.
Live at Revolution Hall lands April 24 digitally and as a super-limited double cassette (only 500 copies!). According to Lenker it’s “a love letter to friendship,” performance, and the kind of live music experience that lingers long after the final note.
