Big Thief‘s Adrianne Lenker is gearing up to release her fourth album as a solo vocalist. The album is set to arrive next year, and ahead of its release, Lenker has shared a new single, “Ruined.”
Driven by a melancholy, forlorn piano, Lenker finds herself searching for answers amid a harrowing heartbreak.
“So much coming through, every hour too / Can’t get enough of you / You come around, I’m ruined / You come around, I’m ruined,” she sings on the song’s chorus.
In the song’s accompanying video, Lenker is seen making her way through the woods, on a quest to rebuild and find herself.
“This song has been a quiet beacon for me,” said Lenker in a statement. “It may contain the essence of the gift of romantic love but it’s mostly about something much bigger.”
Beginning next March, Lenker will embark on a tour, hitting venues in North America and Europe. Tickets will be available for purchase through Lenker’s official website beginning Friday, December 8.
