Cassandra Jenkins: This album really carried me through a difficult period in my life

"I’ve never been a careerist, especially in music. It’s always been something I live and breathe with my family. Maybe it’s also a combination of a fear of failure, or not wanting to commit myself fully because I don’t want to ruin the thing that I enjoy most in life" - Cassandra Jenkins tells in a Pitchfork interview about her latest album 'An Overview on Phenomenal Nature'. She adds: "It’s part of my mental health practice to make sure I’m always learning about other things and not getting absorbed in the narcissistic act of putting out my own music. This record is a great example. I really didn’t think anyone was gonna hear it. But I loved making it, and it really carried me through a difficult period in my life".
