Jenny Owen Youngs knows how to turn a phrase that sounds sweet but cuts like a knife. Her lilting voice is mesmerizing whether it is dressed in punchy hooks or lush melodies. With her sophomore album, Transmitter Failure, she has raised the bar and supplied her fans with a much bigger sound – but don’t worry if you originally fell in love with her down-tempo folk ditties, she does not forget to pause to share her more mellancholly musings. Don’t miss the full range of Miss Youngs on this week’s edition of The Ardent Sessions.
