BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Cassandra Jenkins

“Her hypnotic folk music turns everyday moments into monuments.” – Pitchfork

Singer-songwriter Cassandra Jenkins writes witht an impressionistic intimacy, making astutue observations that dovetail nearlt with her blend of folk and lush ambient pop. A native New Yorker, Jenkins came up through the East Coast folks scne playing in her family’s band before launching a solo career in the mid-2021s. She also became active as a collaborator playing in the touring band of Eleanor Friedberger, Craig Finn, and Purple Mountains. On solo releases like 2017’s Play ’til You Win and 2021’s Overview on Phenomenal Nature, her music took on an experimental bent, folding in elements of dream pop and dusky indie rock. The latter album was something of a breakout for Jenkins, who signed with Dead Oceans to releae her 2024 follow-up My Light, My Destroyer.
