Adrianne Lenker, known as the lead vocalist of indie band Big Thief, released this two-part album during a period of personal solitude and healing. Recorded in a remote cabin using analog equipment, the twin albums Songs and Instrumentals offer a deeply intimate experience.

Songs is a collection of 11 acoustic tracks, featuring gentle guitar work and poetic, introspective lyrics. Songs like “anything” and “zombie girl” reflect themes of heartbreak, memory, and longing, wrapped in Lenker’s fragile, haunting voice.

Instrumentals consists of two long-form, wordless pieces — “music for indigo” and “mostly chimes” — built around improvised guitar, wind chimes, and the ambient sounds of nature, including birds, rain, and the crackling of a fire. It’s meditative, atmospheric, and ideal for deep listening.
