Katie Gavin

Katie Gavin's debut album, What A Relief (2024), taps into the unguarded self-possession and homespun pop sensibility of singers like Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Ani DiFranco, and uses their tenacity as a north star for Gavin’s own trek towards self-discovery. “This record spans a lot of my life – it’s about having a really deep desire for connection, but also encountering all the obstacles that stood in my way to be able to achieve that, patterns of isolation or even boredom with the real work of love” they say.

Written over the course of seven years, What A Relief comprises a set of songs that Gavin always loved but which “had something in them” that she and her bandmates felt didn’t quite fit within the universe they were trying to cultivate with MUNA. Many of them were written on acoustic guitar, and are rooted in “a style of music that’s very much in my blood, and natural for me,” as typified by the Women & Songs CDs that Gavin loves, which compiled music by artists like Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan.

That openness of spirit is the overwhelming character of What A Relief, an album that’s refreshing in its willingness to accept people as they come, even as it remains in dogged pursuit of a life that’s kinder, wiser and more loving. Gavin’s explorations of desire and intimacy feel time-worn and necessary – songs that might teach a generation if not how to live, exactly, then at least how to look within oneself for guidance about how to move forward.

jasmine.4.t.

Trans singer-songwriter jasmine.4.t (Jasmine Cruickshank) sings about the tangled joy, heartache, camaraderie and isolation of transfeminine life. Based in Manchester, she is the first UK signee to Saddest Factory Records.

Jasmine came to the guitar after her late uncle passed his instrument down. Soon, she was playing in “silly skate punk bands” and self-releasing scrappy originals on Breakfast Records, the label she co-founded with friends in Bristol.

But her songs post-transition are a different beast, brimming with new life and experience. She originally considered releasing DIY, and submitted demos only to Saddest Factory Records after touring with Lucy Dacus. It was Dacus who broke the news: “‘Okay, I just played your demos for Phoebe [Bridgers] in the car,’” Jasmine recounts. “‘She’s on the phone to her manager, trying to work out how she can sign you.’”

jasmine.4.t’s music bursts with moments of love through its fingerpicked guitar, punk bombast, and raw vocal takes. She combines performance with activism and uses her platform to advocate for trans rights and marginalised groups. “Being signed by Phoebe Bridgers is immediately going to open me up to a wider audience,” she says. “I take it seriously, just to be a visible trans woman role model in music, because there aren’t that many, and there should be more.”

jasmine.4.t is ready to be that beacon. Backed by an all-trans-woman band and a label full of friends and supporters, her vivid and intimate stories will reach new listeners, conveying the reality of her lived experience.
