Adrianne Lenker – Live At Revolution Hall
Last year, Adrianne Lenker released her beloved Grammy-nominated album Bright Future via 4AD.
Now, Lenker announces a mammoth new 43-track live album, Live at Revolution Hall, out Thursday, April 24th via 4AD, and releases its first single, “happiness.”
This sonic documentary combines audio from three days of the 2024 Bright Future tour and features live performances of fan favorites, deep cuts and five unreleased gems – “happiness”, “oldest”, “ripples,” “i do love you,” and “no limits.”
A collection of performances and moments captured from Lenker’s 2024 headline tour, the 43 tracks have a delicate fidelity that laces warble with clarity. Engineer Andrew Sarlo’s recordings lift the listener’s feet to float cinematically, at times onstage with Lenker, Nick Hakim (piano) and Josefin Runsteen (violin), then over the crowd, through walls, and even out the door. Live at Revolution Hall will be released digitally and on double cassette (limited to 500 copies) on Thursday, April 24th.
“It was impossible to do this album without the immense love and respect I have for my friend. Watching the power of the music disarm and permeate feels a bit like an “I told ya so” but I am still amazed every time. From the sidelines I cheer. This live album is another generous offering from Adrianne. Performing a myriad of songs; some new, some rare, some favorites, and beyond in front of an audience and behind the scenes. Clocking in around 120 minutes featuring songs & vignettes recorded exclusively on reel to reel and cassette tape, there was an attempt to create a different spin on what a live album could be. Recorded over the span of 3-days while on the “Bright Future” tour, we put friendship at the focal point making this a loving memento from one friend to another. Consider closing your eyes, getting cozy, and listening as if you are watching a film! (active listening is rewarded by uncovering layers of details within the captures…) Happily listening.”
