Pigsah releases new album ‘Faultlines’

London-based American singer-songwriter Brittney Jenkins, performing under her solo project Pisgah, has unveiled her second full-length album, Faultlines. Following her acclaimed 2022 debut, Call Louder for Me When You Call, the record represents a significant evolution in Jenkins’ artistry, blending shimmering indie-rock textures with deeply personal songwriting. Across eight tracks, Faultlines explores themes of generational trauma, loss, and the invisible fault lines that shape our lives.

The album opens with “Cumulonimbus,” a track that layers euphoric guitars over introspective lyricism, setting the tone for a record that balances emotional intimacy with expansive soundscapes. Jenkins’ songwriting is at its most raw on tracks like “Bone to Pick,” which confronts trauma and its lingering effects with sparse instrumentation that highlights her unflinching vocal delivery. In contrast, songs such as “Bend to Break” provide moments of catharsis, pairing cinematic alt-country swells with narratives of liberation and self-reclamation.

Production-wise, co-producer Dan Duszynski (Loma, Jess Williamson) complements Jenkins’ vision, shaping an album that moves fluidly between lush, textured layers and stark minimalism. Visual art also plays a prominent role in the record’s aesthetic: Jenkins’ background in art history informed the creation of a moodboard that guided the album’s sonic duality, while the cover photo—taken on the north shore of Utah’s Great Salt Lake—captures its themes of transformation through turbulence.

Faultlines is a record that demands attention for its emotional depth as much as its musical craftsmanship. By translating deeply personal experiences into universally resonant stories, Pisgah solidifies Brittney Jenkins’ status as a rising figure in contemporary indie music. With its combination of reflective lyricism, evocative instrumentation, and cinematic scope, the album stands as a testament to the power of vulnerability in modern songwriting.
