adrianne lenker - unreleased songs (Bootleg, 2021)

another folk girl bootleg! adrianne lenker has been playing a whole bunch of new music recently on places like instagram live, so i figured i'd put it together for ease of listening.
download: mega.nz/folder/WCo2UaJD#JsN1y...
all of these recordings were found uploaded to youtube (besides simulation swarm), so shout-out to the people that recorded them. i've heard rumors that at least a few of these will be on the next big thief album, which is very exciting.
tracks 1-4 & 7-9 are confirmed to be appearing on the next big thief record so only listen if you're okay with kind of spoiling yourself on that.
tracklist
0:00 1. only place
3:22 2. simulation swarm
7:15 3. 12,000 lines
10:20 4. dried roses
12:37 5. happiness
16:00 6. reason to believe (tim hardin cover)
17:52 7. certainty
20:20 8. heavy bend
21:53 9. change
27:35 10. instrumental
29:30 11. simulation swarm (reprise)
other notes about this bootleg:
all of the tracks are pretty lofi due to the nature of how they were recorded. i tried to touch them up a little bit and make them more equal, they're still kinda quiet though.
most of the tracks had names except for 1, 7, and 10 (though 10 was just an improvised instrumental she did towards the end of one stream)
artwork is a shot from the zombie girl music video edited by myself
the simulation swarm reprise was cut together from the intro and the outro she played on an instagram livestream. i decided to not use the full version because she cuts the song off partway through but i thought it was a nice little way to end the tracklist.
only place aka so much to share

coming back to this after DNWMIBIY is out, it’s crazy how adrianne can just play these songs on a guitar, truly a genuis

[@kaysenchown7040]

[@songsthatarecatchy]

Elliott like for sure.

packing a picnic, finding a meadow, sitting there and may cry for a bit to her voice

elliott smith vibes on that first track . amazing

[@shaunjacobalde6345]

The guitar playing in this version of 12,000 Miles is literally the closest thing to a modern Nick Drake. Thank you for posting 🍃✨

[@finmin2k]

a lot of these songs were done brilliantly on Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, everyone liking this should listen to that!

[@briandoherty8535]

doing it the other way around is pretty good, too.

[@iangrant888]

Heavy Bend is such a great song

Her folk songs remind me of Elliott Smith. Isn't there some resemblance?

[@KizCat]

yes, i see them too. she has an elliott smith vibe.

[@fabienlb647]

There's some resemblance ! If only we may have heard him more !

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

@@fabienlb647 still at least 7 great albums, counting Heatmiser and the posthumous From a Basement on the Hill :)

[@jessa1299]

she was inspired a lot by him

[@FreshHareUSA]

bless ye

[@sundogsun]

how does it feel to know you almost put the entire tracklist of DNWM here?

[@dwnlg565]

i wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore 💙

[@lindseydempsey]

My favorite lyric. Don't know why it just hits me with memories I don't have, newfound nostalgia

[@finmin2k]

@@lindseydempsey you guys should listen to the fully released version on Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, it's very good

[@mayahawkins3938]

It says that the mega folder is empty :( where can I get these files? Looooove these songs

[@nicksimons7391]

i believe she listed the title of the first track as "only place" when she first performed it, i could be totally wrong though as i can't find where i read that

[@lunamothhh]

I think she also called it only place in her bandsintown live performance

[@minasb-sides3635]

ah i see, ill change it then

[@mola5445]

[@danielstonebrook104]
