about

Brighter Eyes was created during those long months spent inside. It's a self-produced EP about perspective, filled with songs that explore new storytelling techniques while doubling down on Jess Jocoy's glimmering sound. She relishes a break from the rat race with the title track, whose cinematic arrangement makes room for waltzing percussion, swooning pedal steel, and contributions from harmonica legend Mickey Raphael. "Constellations" finds her delivering a breezy blast of front-porch folk, while "Winter" weaves her voice between clouds of reverb and Telecaster guitar. On "Mansion on a Hill," she even delivers a nostalgic love song from a husband's viewpoint. "Just because you're a woman, you don't have to sing about love only from a woman's perspective," she says of the latter song, whose gender-flipping narration recalls John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery." "A great story can be told by anybody."
