Pisgah, the solo project of London-based American singer-songwriter Brittney Jenkins, announces the release of her second full-length album, ‘Faultlines’. The record follows her acclaimed 2022 debut, ‘Call Louder for Me When You Call’, and marks a bold artistic leap forward by balancing shimmering indie rock textures with deeply personal songwriting. Blending the introspective lyricism of Julia Jacklin and Ex:Re with the raw emotional weight of Big Thief and Indigo de Souza, ‘Faultlines’ stands as an emotionally unflinching meditation on generational trauma, loss, and the subtle fault lines that shape who we ultimately become.
‘Faultlines’ was written and recorded by Jenkins in her home studio and co-produced, mixed, and mastered by Dan Duszynski. Across eight tracks, Jenkins expertly weaves together reflective storytelling and evocative sonic landscapes that range from euphoric electric guitar layers to stark, haunting minimalism. The album draws inspiration from a wide constellation of sources, including mythic figures like Hecate, the quiet devastation of Aimee Mann, and visual artists like Francesca Woodman. Her academic background in art history even led her to create a moodboard before recording, a juxtaposition of shadow and light that perfectly mirrors the record’s duality.
Jenkins explains that the album “explores where fault lies when our relationships, with others and with ourselves, break down completely.” The final cover image, taken on the north shore of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, beautifully captures the record’s essence: transformation through turbulence. The music, which sits at the crossroads of alternative rock, indie folk, and dream pop, is both intimate yet cinematic, fragile yet fierce. With ‘Faultlines’, Jenkins refines her vision, expanding her sonic palette and deepening her lyrical focus, delivering a compelling musical statement.
