For Adrianne Lenker, love is meant to be a familial undertaking: she’s less interested in its early volatility, the thrills and frills, fantastical projections. She stated it clearly on “Anything,” a track from her 2020 album Songs, when she sang, “I don’t wanna be the owner of your fantasy/I just wanna be a part of your family.” For nearly everyone, our first experience of intimacy and love comes from our family units –“We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory,” poet Louise Glück wrote...

Ahead of the release of Bright Future later this week, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker is back with another new song, “Free Treasure.”
The latest single from Bright Future (itself due on March 22nd), “Free Treasure” places Lenker’s signature poeticism in a sparse arrangement. Gentle acoustics carry the progression as Lenker harmonizes with Mat Davidson overtop, their voices coming together for a rich warm sound, delivering the refrain “Understanding, patience and pleasure/ Time and attention, love without measure.” Stream the song below.
“Free Treasure” follows previous Bright Future singles “Ruined,” “Sadness As a Gift,” and “Fool.” The new album is Lenker’s sixth solo release, and features production by frequent collaborator Philip Weinrobe. Pre-orders are ongoing.

Adrianne Lenker has unveiled “Fool,” the latest single from her forthcoming solo album, Bright Future.
Guided by a muted acoustic guitar line, “Fool” lets Lenker’s wandering verses shine in their purest form. Describing a relationship at a standstill, she arrives at the chorus by requesting “Oh, just say what it is that you want,” and later concludes the track with the decisive “What more can I possibly say? / So if you wanna go I say baby okay, okay.” Throughout, light flourishes of strings pop in and out of Lenker’s homespun arrangement, including moments where you can practically hear Lenker smiling on the mic as she records.
“Fool” also arrives with a similarly homespun music video directed by her brother, Noah Lenker. The video features Lenker fashioned as a winter cowboy warrior with her family and dogs frolicking around her. Watch it below.

Adrianne Lenker has announced her fourth studio album, Bright Future, out March 22nd via 4Ad. Along with the announcement, the Big Thief member has shared the single “Sadness As a Gift.”
Bright Future will be Lenker’s first album since 2020’s dual albums, Songs and Instrumentals, and was co-produced by longtime collaborator Philip Weinrobe. Embracing the unique blend of lo-fi acoustic and alternative that Lenker has become a master of, the album prominently features contributions from Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson, and Josefin Runsteen, all of whom were integral to the album’s sound, according to Lenker.
“I think the thing these people have in common [is that] they are some of the best listeners I know musically,” Lenker said in a statement, reflecting on the live-in-the-room recording process the musicians employed. “They have extreme presence… It felt like everyone’s nervous systems released. Once we were In the song, somehow we just knew.
