Adrianne Lenker, Mary Lattimore, Alex Somers feature on new Buck Meek album, The Mirror
Buck Meek has announced his upcoming fourth album, The Mirror, which features collaborators Adrianne Lenker, Mary Lattimore, Alex Somers, and more, and shared lead single "Gasoline".
The Mirror is Meek's first full-length solo release since his 2023 album Haunted Mountain, and it arose from a partnership between Meek and fellow Big Thief member and producer James Krivchenia. The album sees the pair combine Big Thief's live band energy with an electronic atmosphere, featuring a range of both new and longtime collaborators, including Adrianne Lenker on vocals, Adam Brisbin on guitar, Ken Woodward on bass, Mary Lattimore on harp, Dylan Meek on piano, and Alex Somers and Adrian Olsen on synths. This is in addition to a rotating ensemble of four drummers and a choir.
"Gasoline" is the first preview of the upcoming album, on which Meek "embraces the unknown". Meek will also be returning to the UK and Europe with his band for the first time since 2023 with a spring tour, which includes dates in Manchester, Glasgow, London, and Leeds.
