Cassandra Jenkins - An Overview of Phenomenal Nature (February 19, 2021)

I saw this recommended by both an emo Twitter account I follow and Ben Seretan so I checked out the first single and it’s good.

According to Stereogum, (I don’t follow either a ton so I was unaware) she’s toured with Craig Finn’s band and was set to tour in Purple Mountains before David Berman’s death.

 

This is good. May have to jump on the pre-order. Don't know anything about her.

 

New song!

 

New track is great! This thing is shaping up to be something special

 

Had not heard of her until "Hard Drive" got (the now rare) BNT yesterday. These singles are incredible.

 

love the new single. so similar to the new slaughter beach, dog

 

“Hard Drive” is a hell of a song. One of the only musicians that reminds me of Destroyer.

 

Didn't realize how much sax was on that album, thanks for drawing my attention towards it!

 

holy shit I'm going to love this entire thing aren't i?

 

Thanks for making this thread. "Hard Drive" kicked my ass and I am very excited for the full record.

 

Feeling like there’s some potential here to pull over fans from the camps of Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten, & Conor Oberst (solo stuff)

 

Holy shit this absolutely rules. Hard Drive reminds me of solo Craig Finn, which i think she was on.

 

I'm very excited for Friday. She just posted another round of vinyl (500 in purple) on her band camp since the first round (300 of powder blue) sold out.

 

This album is going to kick ass.

 

Cassandra Jenkins: An Overview on Phenomenal Nature

 

This LP was a great way to start my morning.

 

So much great music out today. Started my morning with this, now on Mister Goblin, next up Hold Steady.

Any other stuff y’all would recommend?

 

Check out Katy Kirby, Indigo Sparke, Wild Pink, Another Michael, and Lael Neale.

 

Oh yeah, Another Michael and Katy Kirby also on my list. I’ll check out Indigo Sparke and Lael Neale. Never been sold on Wild Pink, but I’ll give the new one a spin too!

 

Sun June came out earlier this month and that LP & this one are my top 2 releases of 2021

 

This is very good

The BNM from Pitchfork is well deserved

 

This is next level gorgeous

 

This might be the best thing I've heard so far this year. At least up there with Black Country and The Weather Station. "Hard Drive" is still the standout by a mile but I am so happy that the rest of the record lives up to it in its own way.
