Just recently announced, Bright Future is our Big Thief fronting heroine's first solo album since the gorgeous pairing of songs and instrumentals in 2020, and we couldn't be more breathless with anticipation. If the two songs released already from Adrianne Lenker's new solo album are anything to go by, we're set to have our hearts obliterated like never before. Thankfully, Lenker doesn't have to undertake this soul searching voyage alone, with the trio of Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson (Twine), and Swedish strings player Josefin Runsteen brought together from their corners of the music world to add their own touches of magic to the mix. Adrianne, we're ready to be heartbroken! - Flying Out
