Kindred
Jenny Gillespie's sophomore album Kindred was released almost a month ago, but I find myself listening to it more closely now that summer is winding down. The album is filled with beautifully soft textures of sound that weave around Gillespie's voice perfectly. The style is somewhere between jazz, folk, alt-country and electronic music. On several tracks she can be compared to Sarah McLachlan, but the album as a whole is more complex than that. With songs like "Golden Central" and "Swimming in Amber", this album is a peaceful listen that would work well as the backdrop to a late summer's sunset. You can stream the entire album and purchase it digitally over at Gillespie's bandcamp page, where you can also download a free 5-song sampler from the album. You can purchase a physical copy here.
