Cassandra Jenkins has released her newest album, My Light, My Destroyer, under the Dead Oceans record label. This comes after her debut album, An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, which was a top 10 title in the Rough Trade Albums of the Year 2021. Jenkins’ new album boasts her characteristic blend of genres such as folk, ambient pop and found sound. Her music can be described as a soothing dream world, full of colour and cosmic notions, with imagery from the natural world.
Despite having ethereal and otherworldly qualities, Jenkins’ music is relatable, exploring the nuances of everyday emotions and epiphanies. Her music is intimate and introspective, with astute observations and warm humour. The album features singles such as Petco, Aurora IL and Omakase, each with their own distinctive sound while maintaining the album’s cohesive structure.
For fans of artists such as Jenny Lewis, Aldous Harding, Bullion and Jessica Pratt, Jenkins’ My Light, My Destroyer is a must-listen. Dead Oceans, Jenkins’ new label home, has helped her weave together an intimately mesmerising body of work.
