One to watch: jasmine.4.t
The Manchester-based singer-songwriter emerges from a seismic few years with a gorgeous debut album produced by US supergroup Boygenius
Almost a decade later, things came full circle when Dacus turned her other Boygenius pal, Phoebe Bridgers, on to the music of the Manchester-based artist now known as jasmine.4.t, who promptly became the first UK signing to Bridgers’s label Saddest Factory (also home to Muna and Claud). You Are the Morning explores the transformative elements of that time: the liberation of finally walking through the world as herself, the joy of a first queer relationship, and the friends and communities that supported Cruickshank through it all. Stretching from the sparse, sorrowful string arrangements of Highfield to lead single Skin on Skin ’s gnarled, biting electric guitars, with standout Elephant recalling the experimental indie-rock of the Microphones, it is a gorgeously written debut.
