jasmine.4.t is celebrating the release of her debut album with a video for 'Guy Fawkes Tesco Dissociation'
Manchester artist jasmine.4.t debuts album 'You Are The Morning' on Phoebe Bridgers' label.
jasmine.4.t has released her debut album 'You Are The Morning' via Saddest Factory Records, alongside sharing a new video for album track 'Guy Fawkes Tesco Dissociation'.
The Manchester-based singer-songwriter, who is the first UK signee to Phoebe Bridgers' label, worked with Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus on the album's production at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles.
Speaking about 'Guy Fawkes Tesco Dissociation', jasmine.4.t says: "A few years ago, I was sleeping on my best friend Han's living room floor in Manchester for a few nights. I had come out as trans to my closest people back home in Bristol, my life had fallen apart, my marriage had ended terribly, and I had nowhere to stay. I was struggling with extreme PTSD symptoms and making plans to kill myself. I remember being in Han's bathtub, crying in the dark and her making me promise not to go through with it."
"It feels so much to be writing this now, in the next chapter I imagined in the second verse. I cried writing this when I remembered the line 'find connection next to true self, something larger than my life', because I am in the brighter future that I could never have foreseen from where I was when I wrote it. I want this story to bring hope to anyone going through what I went through."
The album features contributions from jasmine.4.t's all-trans band - Phoenix Rousiamanis on piano and strings, Eden O'Brien on drums and Emily Abbott on bass - alongside guest appearances from Baker, Bridgers, Dacus, Claud, Becca Mancari, E.R. Fightmaster and the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles.
