Earlier this year, Adrianne Lenker released her beloved new album Bright Future via 4AD. Praised as “characteristically brutal and brave” (Rolling Stone) and “a genuine competitor for the best album she’s ever been involved with,” (Paste), Bright Future has appeared on many mid-year Best-Of lists, including The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, SPIN, Brooklyn Vegan, and many more. And today, Lenker shares the new single “Once a Bunch.” Recorded during the Bright Future sessions and originally only appearing on the Japanese CD release of the album, the sweet, country-tinged single – already a live favourite – is seeing its wide release for the first time. This fall, a 7″ edition of “Once a Bunch” will be released via independent record stores.

Adrianne will be embarking on a totally sold-out North American tour this upcoming fall. The tour makes stops in Montreal (November 15th @ L’Olympia) and Toronto (November 16th @ Queen Elizabeth Theatre).

“[Adrianne Lenker’s] strength has always been her undiluted intimacy; whether she makes it alone or with her band, Big Thief, her tender folk-rock music can dissolve the scene in which you’re listening to it, so it’s just you and her, suspended in charged, holy space.” — New York Magazine
