Pisgah’s Faultlines is a delicate yet powerful exploration of inner landscapes, where Brittney Jenkins’ introspective lyricism meets shimmering indie-rock soundscapes. From the opening track “Cumulonimbus,” layers of crashing guitars and airy synths create a sonic tension that mirrors the album’s themes of inherited trauma and personal upheaval. Jenkins balances vulnerability with compositional sophistication, crafting songs that feel both intimate and expansive.


The album excels in its emotional honesty. Tracks like “Bone to Pick” confront painful memories with sparse instrumentation, allowing Jenkins’ voice to carry the full weight of her story. Meanwhile, songs like “Bend to Break” offer cathartic release, combining cinematic alt-country flourishes with driving percussion. The juxtaposition of quiet reflection and euphoric momentum keeps the listener engaged while amplifying the album’s emotional impact.


Faultlines is not just a collection of songs—it’s a meditation on fracture and resilience. The record’s visual inspirations, from the haunting photographs of Francesca Woodman to the stormy desert landscapes, resonate throughout the music, giving it a palpable sense of place and atmosphere. Jenkins’ ability to translate deeply personal experiences into universal emotion makes Faultlines a compelling and rewarding listen.
