Who
Cassandra Jenkins left us eager for more following the release of her stunning debut An Overview on Phenomenal Nature (a Rough Trade Albums of the Year 2021 top 10 title). The New York singer-songwriter returns as spiritually attuned as ever on new label home Dead Oceans, weaving a new mesmerising thread of impressionistic and intimate songs.
What
A soothing dream world with astute observations and warm humour, delivering evocations of colour, cosmic notions (on Aurora IL, Omakase), and imagery of the natural world. The album is ethereal yet relatable, contemplating everyday feelings the ordinary and epiphanies (Petco). My Light My Destroyer thrives with Cassandra's familiar blending of genres (folk, ambient pop and found sound), idiosyncratic yet graceful, keeping the whole album sonically fresh and wielding some new musical tricks.

For fans of: Jenny Lewis, Aldous Harding, Bullion, Jessica Pratt
