Adrianne Lenker unveils new single 'Ruined' • News • DIY Magazine

Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker has today shared ‘Ruined’, a moving new track that acts as an introduction to her highly anticipated next solo album, which she has confirmed will arrive next year. Her latest single sees Adrianne embrace a piano-led melody, and she’s described the song as “a quiet beacon for me. It may contain the essence of the gift of romantic love but it’s mostly about something much bigger.”

Alongside ‘Ruined’, she has also shared an accompanying, suitably autumnal video - directed by her brother Noah Lenker - as well news of a forthcoming UK and EU tour. Tickets will go on general sale at 10:00am this Friday (8th December); find out where Adrianne will be stopping off below.

Big Thief on becoming a trio, self-acceptance, and the expansive world of new album ‘Double Infinity’

Big Thief: Cosmic Dancers

Since 2022’s ‘Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You’, Big Thief have contracted and expanded, breathing new life into their ever-animate body of work. Turning their gaze outwards as a means to make sense of our innermost workings, the now-trio are back bearing cosmically-inclined sixth album ‘Double Infinity’ — their most distilled, disarming record to date.
