'I feel like we’re still so at the beginning of our journey, this band and me as a writer and just on a personal creative level.'
When I first meet Adrianne Lenker at a café in Park Slope, she’s sketching a tree in charcoal, pencil flowing freely along its winding arms. Perhaps she had been working on it for a while, or maybe the setting, a half-mile from the leafy Prospect Park, struck a chord. After all, her band, Big Thief, has roots in Brooklyn, though Lenker’s are scattered throughout the American heartland.
LENKER: I’m constantly aware of my mother-father-child dynamic playing itself internally. I can feel my motherhood in myself, and I can feel my child and the relationship between those two. And also, I just feel that Earth is the truest mother that we know. It’s been really hard to heal the wounds of the Earth because we’re depleting and stripping the Earth and mining for minerals and contaminating water.
NECHAMKIN: The fact that that in and of itself is considered political is kind of crazy. “Safe space” has become a charged term, even though it’s really the opposite of that. NECHAMKIN: Do you think that expressed itself in the lyrics about finding a home and cradling that inner child who might still be longing for that anchor?
LENKER: I think emptiness is huge. I think about it a lot. When I’m on tour or something, I can feel when I’m trying to escape it, sitting in the void when I’m finally alone for a few days in stillness. I really want to start to feel more comfortable with the emptiness.
