On symbol, Adrianne Lenker is able to call forth the lighthearted spirit of mid-1990s alternative performers, all while including hints of Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco. Little more is needed with Lenker’s latest than a dreamy set of vocals and a surprisingly deep guitar line. With gradual progression of the instrumentation on symbol, listeners will be transported to a place much different than they were when they first cracked open this track. A sublime beauty dominates here, and the song itself stands up to repeat plays. Strap on a set of headphones, watch the video for Adrianne’s current single, and really dig in to this deep effort.
