Adrianne Lenker’s solo career began long before her work with Big Thief, producing a steady stream of intimate studio albums and evocative instrumentals. Her most recent solo work, Bright Future (2024, 4AD), earned a Grammy nomination, underscoring the enduring relevance of her storytelling. Other notable releases include Songs (2020, 4AD) and Instrumentals (2020, 4AD), as well as Abysskiss (2018, Saddle Creek) and Hours Were the Birds (2014, self-released; Saddle Creek reissue 2018). Highlights from the solo era include tracks like cradle (2018) and Ruined (2023) among others, all showcasing Lenker’s knack for weaving precise, emotional narratives with melodic simplicity.
Upcoming material and live performances remain highly anticipated. Live at Revolution Hall (April 24, 2025) presents a 43-track live album capturing Lenker’s Bright Future-era performances. While 2025 solo dates were not publicly announced through early 2026, Lenker remains active with Big Thief, who announced a Fall 2025 tour (Lenker is part of the band’s roster for that run).
