Transmitter Failure

Jenny Owen Youngs returns with her second album, Transmitter Failure, and follow-up to her 2007 release Batten The Hatches, on May 26th. Most of you remember her song “Fuck Was I,” from when it was featured on the TV show “Weeds.” The new record was produced by Dan Romer (Ingrid Michaelson, April Smith, The Woes) and is said to include keys, horns, flute, glockenspiel, and a full string section at times. 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.”
