THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Adrianne Lenker follows her astonishing Grammy– and BRIT-nominated solo album Bright Future with the immersive 120-minute album Live At Revolution Hall. This sonic documentary combines audio from three days of her 2024 tour and features live performances of fan favourites, deep cuts and unreleased gems.
The 43 tracks have a delicate fidelity that laces warble with clarity. Engineer Andrew Sarlo’s recordings lift the listener’s feet to float cinematically — at times onstage with Lenker, Nick Hakim (piano) and Josefin Runsteen (violin), then over the crowd, through walls and even out the door.
“It was impossible to do this album without the immense love and respect I have for my friend,” says Sarlo. “Watching the power of the music disarm and permeate feels a bit like an ‘I told ya so’ but I am still amazed every time. From the sidelines I cheer. This live album is another generous offering from Adrianne. Performing a myriad of songs; some new, some rare, some favorites, and beyond in front of an audience and behind the scenes.
“Clocking in around 120 minutes featuring songs and vignettes recorded exclusively on reel to reel and cassette tape, there was an attempt to create a different spin on what a live album could be. Recorded over the span of three days while on the Bright Future tour, we put friendship at the focal point making this a loving memento from one friend to another. Consider closing your eyes, getting cozy, and listening as if you are watching a film! (Active listening is rewarded by uncovering layers of details within the captures…)”
