Adrianne Lenker Debuts Video For “Evol”

Adrianne Lenker has shared a new video For "Evol"

Singer/songwriter and Big Thief vocalist Adrianne Lenker has shared a new video For “Evol.” The single arrives after the release of her album Bright Future, which dropped earlier in the year via 4AD. Lenker’s 2024 tour is almost completely sold out, she plays her next show on August 10th in Austin.

The video, directed by Erin Birgy (Mega Bog) and starring Lenker, Birgy, Adel Bengo, Rob Savage, Drew Miller, James Krivchenia, Flora Branch Ortiz Concha, Johnny Ortiz, Maida Branch, Natalie Day, and Claire Iannelli, is “a portrait of a wandering person, unrooted and questioning the realities of connection,” explains Birgy. This wandering figure is on the verge of outgrowing stoic individualism encouraged by colonialism that fights to deny interconnectedness of egoless place and being.”

“The film plays with magical realism to give symbol to alien, and often haunting, shifts of perception while finding one’s role in a meaningful community/ecosystem
that was ever present, and often overlooked or habitually dismissed in western thought,” Birgy elaborates. “We had an amazing team of desert rats, farmers, artists,
horses, and aliens to make this film. It was so special to collaborate with Adrianne & some of my closest friends in this extra-musical storytelling project.”

Bright Future marks Lenker’s first album since 2020’s songs & instrumentals, and features co-production from Philip Weinrobe, alongside contributions from Nick Hakim, Mat Davidson, and Josefin Runsteen. During the high vibrance of autumn, 2022, the Big Thief band member got lucky. Three musical friends, “Some of my favourite people,” had space in their busy touring schedules to join her at the forest- hidden, analogue studio, Double Infinity. The musicians – Hakim, Davidson, and Runsteen – were known to Adrianne but newer to each other. “I had no idea what the outcome would be,” she recalls. The result? “It was magical,” she says.
