Adrianne Lenker : Abysskiss

Adrianne’s third solo album was recorded following a two week road trip through the southwestern United States. She headed into the studio with longtime friend Luke Temple, and for one week they made music.

The songs chosen for this collection were the ones that felt the most alive in the room. These are not castaways or B-sides. Some had been alive for years while some were written just days before the session. The thread that connects these songs is not something that can easily be put down in words. Intuition connects these songs. They are a record of a time.

With abysskiss, Lenker further illuminated to the listening public what those close to her already knew; she is a songwriter of the highest order, following her voice and the greater Voices that pass through her with an unflinching openness and clarity of translation.
