An enthralling new artist continues to emerge from London. Jenny Lindfors A.K.A. Sailing Stones, introduces her second release ‘Telescopes’.
Following the critical success of debut single ‘The Blazing Sun’, the track introduced us to a fresh new artist ready to pack a punch. She’s ready to create her own form of gorgeous, wandering music with inspiration ranging from Neil Young to Vangelis.
She sounds no less captivating and hardened than an early Julie Byrne or Laura Marling, Sailing Stones lives the stripe-earning traditions of a travelling musician, it’s Sailing Stones solemnity and frankness lyrically that set her in the select group of female singer/songwriters possessing something special. Wanderer, loner, romantic – now the self-produced, self-recorded ‘Telescopes’ continues to mark out as a superb new talent.
Now adding a beautiful, stark piano melody, mellotron and brass to create another quietly majestic song, Sailing Stones cements her status as one of the most exciting musicians coming out of the city.
Speaking on the track, Jenny states: “Telescopes is about reflecting back on learned behaviour, and surrendering to the mystery of what we believe love is. It was this track that cemented my love of the rich, emotive synth sounds used on so many classic records in the 80s”.
