Following the release of her acclaimed solo albums Songs and Instrumentals back in 2020, Adrianne Lenker is set to return with her eagerly awaited follow-up, Bright Future – out on March 22, via 4AD.

To coincide with the news, the singer-songwriter – also famed for her work as a member of Big Thief – has shared a new single from the project, 'Sadness As A Gift'. It follows the previously released track 'Ruined'.

The album will also features the original recording of the Big Thief song 'Vampire Empire'.

Bright Future features co-production from Philip Weinrobe, as well as contributions from Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson, and Josefin Runsteen.

"Admirers of Adrianne’s solo music and Big Thief will find on Bright Future her reliable talent captured in stunning, magnetic clarity," the new album description reads. "In the company of parlour instruments, Adrianne’s modern melodic and lyrical inventions create new traditions. Her vocal flights at times outwit gravity, then land, guiding along an earthly path. The wholeness of the un-spliced recordings preserves a time of musical friendship during a golden season."

Soon after the release, Adrianne is set to embark on a string of sold-out Irish dates – including The Black Box in Galway (April 19), St Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny (20), and Vicar Street in Dublin (21).

Bright Future is available to pre-order on vinyl, cassette, CD, and as a digital album, now.
