If nature could sing, it’d sound like Adrianne Lenker. It’d pull you in like a wave, spin you round like the breeze and like her music it’d ground you in your body like a root reaching out, holding you still, and letting the sun shine down. And slowly, you’d see yourself start to grow. She might just be our generation’s greatest songwriter. Only time will tell. And her band, Big Thief, to me, is the most exciting act touring today.
