Cassandra Jenkins' My Light, My Destroyer marks a bold leap forward for one of today’s most compelling songwriter-storytellers. Known for her immersive, intimate vocals and evocative lyrics, Jenkins channels the spirit of artists like David Berman and Sufjan Stevens while carving out a singular voice. The album blends narrative songwriting with swirling soundscapes, field recordings, and raw emotional focus. Rather than follow linear stories, many tracks explore single, potent feelings—disillusionment, devotion, clarity—as a form of liberation. Richer and more daring than her previous work, this is Jenkins at her most powerful and refined.
