Jenny Owens Youngs' world is a lush aural landscape populated by gut-thumping bass lines, electric guitars, sunny keys, booming horns, digital drum tracks and even flute, glockenspiel and even a full string section at times. Youngs says her spirit animals are Johnny Cash, Kate Bush, Tom Waits, and Jack White. What do these disparate musicians have in common? “They are excellent bad asses,” she says.

“Funny, smart and quirky. A truly unconventional singer-songwriter.” -- NPR

“I can’t remember the last time I heard a sophomore album that captured me in the way Transmitter Failure does.” -- Washington Post
