From the attics of Greater London, Pisgah conjures a storm in miniature with her latest single, ‘Cumulonimbus’. The track feels like stepping into a dense fog of memory, where the air hums with the electricity of unspoken grief. Brittney Jenkins, the force behind Pisgah, transforms her fascination with volatile weather patterns into a meditation on generational trauma.
Opening with a bass-like guitar arpeggio, Cumulonimbus builds like a cloud swelling with rain, its layers of guitar- clean, crunchy, and condenser treated- folding together to create a lush, immersive atmosphere. The song’s lyricism is equally striking: lines like “Hollowed out escarpment glows light blue” are as visually arresting as they are emotionally resonant, hinting at both past and present, place and exile.
Mixed and mastered by Dan Duszynski, the track is at once expansive and personal. Pisgah’s vocals float atop the instrumentation with fragile intensity, capturing that moment of quiet surrender just before a storm breaks. There’s an honesty here that feels rare- songs that map the terrain of internal landscapes without flinching.
‘Cumulonimbus’ heralds the coming album ‘Faultlines’, and announces Pisgah’s arrival as a storyteller unafraid to turn inward. This is a gorgeously warm track that builds and stirs emotions deep in the soul.
