Adrianne Lenker

Adrianne Lenker is the best songwriter in the world. Nobody else has the power to turn such vivid vocabulary into the most colloquial lyrics you've ever heard. Most of the songs here will survive decades of cultural tidal erosion, but anything and not a lot are true all-timers. Anthemic and soft, layered like filo pastry, natural, aware, adult, spectacular and small. songs is as perfect as a musician or listener can hope for.
