Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker has unveiled a new single, ‘Ruined’, her first solo release since 2020’s Songs and Instrumentals. It comes with an accompanying video directed by Adrianne’s brother Noah Lenker. Check it out below, along with Lenker’s just-announced tour dates.
“This song has been a quiet beacon for me,” Lenker said in a press statement. “It may contain the essence of the gift of romantic love but it’s mostly about something much bigger.”
‘Ruined’ is the first preview of Lenker’s upcoming solo album arriving in 2024. In January, Lenker will teach a songwriting workshop through School of Song. The course costs $160 and will be taught via live Zoom lectures across four consecutive Sundays – January 7, January 14, January 21, and January 28 – at 11am PT and 6pm PT.
