The band have also announced that they’ll be releasing a new 7” containing solo acoustic performances from the band’s frontwoman Adrienne Lenker recorded by Luke Temple of Here We Go Magic. It’ll have a new version of ‘Masterpiece’ as well as a never before heard track, ‘Dandelion.’ The limited 500 copy run will only be available as a tour exclusive.
