Marking Pisgah’s return on the international music scene after a three-year hiatus, ‘Cumulonimbus’ shines a light on the American creative’s nuanced, wholesome and meaningful artistry. Driven to introspection and cathartic imagery, Pisgah delivers lyricism that feels personal and crucial, often themed around generational trauma and the struggle behind coping mechanisms. ‘Cumulonimbus’ is the perfect evidence of that: built on fuzzy and hazy indie-flavoured guitars, the record feels melancholic, yet euphoric, oscillating between the two extremes with masterful restraint and understated elegance.
Now based in London and known as Brittney Jenkins by day, Pisgah appears to have kick-started the next era in her artistic career, and we are excited to announce that ‘Cumulonimbus’ anticipates Jenkins’ forthcoming album, ‘Faultlines’, releasing on November 7th. From a production standpoint, Pisgah recorded the single in her home studio, then teamed up with Austin-based engineer Dan Duszynski (Jess Williamson, Loma) for mixing and mastering.
The result is rather impressive, and if ‘Cumulonimbus’ is anything to go by, we are expecting big things from Pisgah. Delving deeper into the cloud-related inspiration behind the song’s title and her upbringing in stormy North Carolina, Brittney explains: “I’ve always had a nerdy fascination with storms, and especially cumulonimbus clouds as containers for chaos. For me, they’re a powerful metaphor for the generational trauma and grief we inherit from our parents”.
