Also known for her evocative songwriting and performances with indie folk-rock band Big Thief, Adrianne Lenker’s solo material is spare, brittle, and often deeply personal. With touring cut short in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lenker arrived in New York, then learned of a cabin for rent near some friends in the mountains of Western Massachusetts. Taken with the sound of the acoustics in the empty cabin, she invited engineer Philip Weinrobe to join her in the remote locale to record an acoustic album. Written mostly on-site, the resulting, double-length songs and instrumentals consisted of 11 minimally arranged songs and a collection of guitar and windchime improvisations. The set was released in October 2020 on 4AD.
