Next month, Barrie Lindsay will release Barbara, a new album that moves her away from the dream-pop of her past records and towards a more stripped-down singer-songwriter sound. We’ve already posted the early singles “Dig,” “Frankie,” and “Quarry.” Today, Lindsay has shared “Jenny,” a new song about meeting and falling in love with her wife Gabby. It’s a dizzy, lovestruck track that recalls some of the prettiest college-rock of the ’90s.

Talking about the song, Lindsay says:

I was looking to James Taylor for the guitar and the Band for the organ to try to capture an Americana feel for “Jenny.” These artists are able to simultaneously encapsulate a swagger and an earnestness that gives their music a grown-up, classic feel. I wanted “Jenny” to be like an American Songbook song; any level of musician could play it, and it would feel good to play either alone with one’s guitar, around a campfire with some friends, or at a big concert with everyone singing along.

I wrote it while reflecting on a memory from tour, when I met my wife. We had a day off in Austin, and a group of us went swimming in a creek. I was picturing that day, before I was aware of any connection between us, and imagining how it would have played out if I had been. I wasn’t devoted right away, I wasn’t sure.

Listen below.

Barbara is out 3/25 on Winspear.
