4. Adrianne LenkerSongs And Instrumentals

Adrianne Lenker is the type of artist whom I admire and love pretty much everything that they make, especially with Big Thief. I was so happy when this record came out. I hadn’t heard much of Adrianne’s solo stuff before this. When this came out, I think it was a COVID record, to me it was very soothing, but at the same time, it was hard-hitting lyrics and stories. At least, that’s how they come across to me. The bravery of being able to write something so open and stripped back, I find that very inspiring. Again, she’s another artist that, when I listen to their music, I’m left wondering how they do it and manage to make it all about music and keep writing and keep putting out records. I’d like to be like that. It’s so cool. I feel like everybody has that potential.
