Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker releases new single ‘Fool’
Big Thief vocalist Adrianne Lenker has shared her latest solo offering, ‘Fool’. The single provides the third glimpse at her upcoming album, Bright Future.
Following the release of the bittersweet ‘Sadness As A Gift’ earlier this year, ‘Fool’ provides yet another dose of tender indie folk. Over plucked strings, Lenker begs her lover to “just say what it is that you want.” It’s characteristically soft and sentimental, but contains a greater sense of optimism compared to her more recent offerings.
Producer Philip Weinrobe believes the song is one of Lenker’s most joyous creations, sharing, “I feel like I can hear her laughing and smiling when I listen back to this song. The joy is palpable. It’s easy to forget that Adrianne can do unbridled ecstatic happiness just as deftly as every other emotion in the human experience.”
The tender track is accompanied by a music video directed by Lenker’s brother, Noah. Amidst snowy landscapes, a collage of imagery features Lenker and her family in cowboy hats, while their dog rocks a neon tutu.
The song marks Lenker’s third offering ahead of her upcoming record, Bright Future. Set for release on March 22nd, the album is now available to pre-order on CD, cassette, and vinyl. A black LP will be available, as well as a unique recycled vinyl edition.
Following the release of Bright Future, Lenker is set to head on the road, taking to stages across Europe and North America. Highlights of the tour include multiple dates at London’s Barbican Centre and Texas’s Paramount Theatre.
Bright Future is out on March 22nd. Watch the music video for ‘Fool’ below.
