led to the sea ep out TODAY!

Jenny Owen Youngs is back with her second album, Transmitter Failure due May 26. This record is a bold departure from her 2007 release Batten The Hatches, which thrust Youngs into the spotlight (and won her a record deal with Nettwerk) when her song “Fuck Was I” was featured on the TV show “Weeds”.

Youngs says of the new sound, “I wanted to make something that would move people emotionally, but also move them physically. I did not want to end up touring for another three years on a record that wouldn’t offer people the opportunity to move. So. Dan and I set out to make something that was, quite simply, more fun to play live. In the process, my writing took turns I didn’t expect.”

Yet throughout it all, Transmitter Failure is unmistakably Jenny: Smart song structures, melodies informed by her love of pop music, and an ability to sting the listener with her candid lyrical insights.

In addition to her upcoming album and tour, Youngs has collaborated with touring buddies, Jukebox The Ghost and have created a split 7” limited edition vinyl and tour poster, both available for purchase only on these tour dates.

Jenny and the Jukebox boys will be working hard to make every night count, joining in during one another’s sets, trading off on vocals, banging out a collaborative cover or two, and finishing each other’s drinks.

As they prepare for their 23-city tour, both artists have covered a collection of each other’s songs.

Don’t miss Jenny on the road and get a sneak peak of Transmitter Failure.
