We are thrilled to welcome @_andy_jenkins to the Psychic Hotline family with his new single “Leaving Before” — out today! The musical communities of Durham, North Carolina and Richmond, Virgina have long been intertwined, bizarre state-line refractions of one another, just 150 miles of I-85 apart, and RVA’s bard, Andy Jenkins, has been in our collective orbit for as long as we can remember. His writing is as incisive as it is elliptical; he works without hurry, distilling his observations into fertile transmissions, his albums reward being lived with, being parsed and metabolized. Jenkins is one of our very favorite writers, there’s as much Nilsson and Newman as there is Callahan and Oldham, all the good shit. We are honored to share “Leaving Before”, the first dispatch from a period of time that Andy spent in North Carolina with Nick Sanborn ( @madeofoak @sylvanesso ), working out at Psychic Hotline’s sister studio, Betty’s, tracked as spring was springing and packed away for the colder months like pressed leaves and flowers.
