songs and instrumentals

This double-album experience is the sound of a person retreating into the woods to find where they end and the world begins. Recorded on an 8-track machine in a one-room cabin, the production is so intimate that you can hear the mechanical click of the recorder and the shifting of Lenker's weight on a wooden chair. The first half, 'songs', contains some of her most vulnerable writing, dealing with the sharp edges of a breakup and the strange stillness of the early pandemic. It feels less like a studio performance and more like being a ghost in the room while someone sings to themselves.
