Jenny Lindfors

Sailing Stones’ “Slow Magic” is one of the most satisfyingly complete collections of songs I have heard this year. Built around matrescence, the transitions a woman goes through at the time of bringing new life into the world, the whole record plays like a kaleidoscopic whirligig, shimmering in and out of focus, crafted with a crackly analogue, hands-on human touch. Her best album yet.

Irish-born, Bristol-based artist Jenny Lindfors, who records as Sailing Stones, premieres the video for new single A Promise To Love, out February 11th. The track is the first from her sophomore album Slow Magic, due July 3rd. The song explores the colour red and the fractured, otherworldly quality of early morning parenthood, capturing moments suspended between celestial visitation and personal struggle.
