Cassandra Jenkins has announced a 2024 headlining tour that brings her across North America and Europe this autumn in support of forthcoming album My Light, My Destroyer. Jenkins has also shared a new song, “Delphinium Blue,” that comes with a self-directed music video. Check that out, as well as her full list of tour dates, below.
When explaining the lyrics to her new song, Jenkins said, “Sometimes when I don’t know where to turn, I look for something reliably beautiful. Applying for a job at my local flower shop felt like survival instinct kicking in, and that job got me through one of the bluest periods in my life—being surrounded by flowers didn’t just make the weight easier to bear—it helped me understand it and myself better. I began to dream in technicolor; flowers became the language of my subconscious.”
My Light, My Destroyer, Jenkins’ third studio album and the follow-up to 2021’s An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, is due out July 12 via Dead Oceans. It features collaborations with producer Andrew Lappin, Palehound’s El Kempner, Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy, Daniel McDowell, Isaac Eiger, Katie Von Schleicher, Zoë Brecher, Josh Kaufman, Stephanie Marziano, and others.
