With support from indie giants Boygenius and a whole heap of friends, jasmine.4.t’s journey into debut album 'You Are The Morning' is one of self-discovery and triumph.

Words: Stephen Ackroyd.

Stories tend to follow certain set templates – the bedroom dreamer turned overnight sensation, the DIY demo that catches the right ears, the steady climb from toilet venues to festival stages. But sometimes the universe throws us a curveball that reads like a queer indie fantasy scripted by someone with actual lived experience, and that's where we find jasmine.4.t, somewhere between Dover and Calais, her music now travelling much further than just across the Channel on her way to Pitchfork Paris.

"2024 has been overwhelmingly joyful for me," she shares, in a way that suggests 'overwhelmingly' might be the understatement of the year – like calling a hurricane 'a bit breezy' or describing Boygenius as 'some mates who make music together'.

But then, there's a reason we're thinking that: "I've just announced my debut album 'You Are The Morning', which is produced by Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker." She delivers this information with the casual air of someone who hasn't just name-dropped indie-rock's most powerful trio, before adding, "and it's coming out on Phoebe's imprint Saddest Factory Records on 17th January."
