About
In time for the harvest season and Halloween, Jenny Dalton returns with songs that conjure Indian summer road trips, autumn strolls, Native American wisdom and then darker visions of devils, demons and witch trials.
She amps up her enchanting piano-based indie-pop style with the powerful, driving forces of
a band featuring an unlikely pairing of members from the Seawhores and former members of
Cloud Cult. Also, in a successful experiment she recorded a few tracks completely on her own
which allowed her to fully develop the dreamy, cinematic mood of those songs. Blood Folk was
recorded in a Rocky Mountain cabin, at Jenny’s home studio, and with the band at a recording
studio in St Paul.
Jenny Dalton moved into a 130 yr old house hidden away from her Minneapolis stomping
grounds and became interested in folk art, folk medicine, and folklore with her new small-town
lifestyle. She researched her family tree and discovered ancestors executed in the Salem Witch
Trials and roots in the Mohawk tribe. A two-week venture into the Rocky Mountains of Colorado
inspired more connections to the land and the past. These discoveries and experiences have
woven their threads in the songs for the new Blood Folk EP.
Dalton taught herself how to play piano and began composing original songs at 8 yrs old. She was influenced by post-punk era bands, and her music has been compared to Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Sia, Vienna Teng and others. (Visit Jenny Dalton's Bio)
