New York City-based singer-songwriter Cassandra Jenkins has been announced for a show in the capital.
Jenkins plays Whelan’s on November 20th, and has announced a third album called My Light, My Destroyer , their first on Dead Oceans.
A new song ‘Delphinium Blue’ is out today also.
The Dublin show is on sale now priced at €26.50 plus fee
My Light, My Destroyer “cracks open the promise of reaching the edge of the new, with a wider sonic palette than ever before – encompassing guitar-driven indie rock, new age, sophistipop, and jazz. At the center of it all is Jenkins’ curiosity towards the quarks and quasars that make up her universe, as she blends field recordings with poetic lyricism that is at turns allusive, humorous, devastating and confessional.”
“Sometimes when I don’t know where to turn, I look for something reliably beautiful. Applying for a job at my local flower shop felt like survival instinct kicking in, and that job got me through one of the bluest periods in my life– being surrounded by flowers didn’t just make the weight easier to bear– it helped me understand it and myself better. I began to dream in technicolor; flowers became the language of my subconscious. At times I felt like I was surrounded by a Greek Chorus while I went about my menial tasks– they took on an all knowing quality, like they held the keys if I was willing to listen, like they were porters of my grief, and delicate portals to awareness.”
