Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief has announced a new solo album.
'abysskiss', the follow up to 2014's 'Hours Were The Birds', will arrive on October 5 through Saddle Creek. In a statement, she said:
"I want to archive the songs in their original forms every few years. My first solo record I made was Hours Were the Birds. I had just turned 21 and moved to New York City where I was sleeping in a warehouse, working in a restaurant and photographing pigeons. Now five years later, another skin is being shed."
The first single to be shared from the record is Cradle, where finger-picked acoustic guitar accompanies Lenker's measured vocals and a lilting melody. Listen below.
'Abysskiss' tracklist:
1. terminal paradise
2. from
3. womb
4. out of your mind
5. cradle
6. symbol
7. blue and red horses
8. abyss kiss
9. what can you say
10. 10 miles
Big Thief, meanwhile, released an experimental EP called ‘Wide Winged Bird’ in May. It featured unreleased music alongside field recordings and followed up their sophomore LP, 'Capacity', which came out in 2017.
