An incredibly personal and authentic album, ‘Mnemonics’ marks Amy Jay’s latest effort —a wonderfully introspective, tender record that speaks volumes about the New York-based songstress’s heightened maturity and self-awareness. In fact, ‘Mnemonics’ is deeply tied to Amy’s mental health journey, as she uncovers hidden pieces of her consciousness through a stream of challenging therapy sessions. Presenting as the perfect tool for self-reflection, songwriting functioned as a way to capture and process inner truths and crucial milestones, effectively making the album a rather intimate and honest look into Amy Jay’s ever-evolving artistry.
Bold and evocative, ‘Mnemonics’ means a lot to Amy Jay, but what about the listener? Peeling the lyrical layer off the record, one’s left with a wealth of diverse indie-folk goodness with a heightened alternative allure. Packing ten vibrant tracks, the LP oscillates between softness and firmness with elegance and charisma, weaving a tapestry of cinematic textures that supercharge Jay’s luscious, melancholic vocals.
Delving deeper into the album, Amy explains: “The songs were subconscious mantras that I synthesized over time while making internal progress. It’s amazing how many times I needed to hear such transformative truths before they stuck. When I realised what I was doing through these sonic notes-to-self, everything clicked.”
