Over The Mountain, Across The Valley and Back To The Stars

Recorded by Jim Bentley at the Fort and featuring the bass stylings of James McNew (Yo La Tengo), the album also showcases Al Weatherhead on guitar, keyboards and backing vocals by Kendall Meade (Sparklehorse, Helium) and the occasional backing vocals of Britt Daniel (Spoon). Jennifer's songs are elemental and emotionally charged, but also suffused with humor and the kind of melodic invention that transcends the underground rock'n'roll thing. Her influences are other artists with a fresh take on self-awareness, from Destroyer, Silver Jews, Aimee Mann, and Smog, to Dylan and Petty, as well as Jay Z, Kanye West, and Dizzee Rascal. 'Her music is laid-back and literate... she often draws comparisons to Elliott Smith and oldschool Liz Phair, and it's easy to see why. Her songs are simple, melodic and direct, and her voice is raw and real.' - Venus
