Adrianne Lenker has announced a new live album called Live at Revolution Hall, which will be out April 25 via 4AD. The Big Thief vocalist, who most recently released the studio LP Bright Future, tracked it across three performances during the album’s tour. It spans 43 tracks, including five unreleased songs – one of which, the gorgeous ‘happiness’, is out now. Check it out below.
Discussing the live album, engineer Andrew Sarlo said:
It was impossible to do this album without the immense love and respect I have for my friend. Watching the power of the music disarm and permeate feels a bit like an ‘I told ya so’ but I am still amazed every time. From the sidelines I cheer. This live album is another generous offering from Adrianne. Performing a myriad of songs; some new, some rare, some favorites, and beyond in front of an audience and behind the scenes. Clocking in around 120 minutes featuring songs & vignettes recorded exclusively on reel to reel and cassette tape, there was an attempt to create a different spin on what a live album could be. Recorded over the span of 3-days while on the ‘Bright Future’ tour, we put friendship at the focal point making this a loving memento from one friend to another. Consider closing your eyes, getting cozy, and listening as if you are watching a film! (active listening is rewarded by uncovering layers of details within the captures…) Happily listening.
