Since releasing her sophomore album, Pale Moon Kid, in 2016, a lot has changed for Canadian artist Jenny Berkel. Known predominately as a singer-songwriter, Jenny has begun to garner a literary audience in the course of stepping out as a poet. Outside Musics vinyl reissue of Pale Moon Kid
with reimagined artwork, printed lyrics, and never before released digital B-sidescomes shortly after the publication of her debut chapbook, Grease Dogs, with Baseline Press.

For Jenny, the re-celebration of Pale Moon Kid comes with revisiting particular moments when the songs came to life, and the realization that her passion for scene-painting in song was the seed of a poetic trajectory that has now begun to bloom. I didnt know at the time how much the songs would eventually transport me to certain moments, says Jenny about the experience of coming back to the album. I remember the farmhouse outside of London where I wrote Wealth in the Country one night, feeling enclosed inside the house and the silence of the country, while outside the land was bursting with autumn harvest& the smell of springtime in France where I wrote Lilac, Lily& Theres a surprising transporting effect there that I think Ive become more intentional about in my poems.

Praised for its emotive storytelling and vivid lyricism, Pale Moon Kid is an album of postcards that serendipitously foreshadows a poetic practice rooted in observation and introspection. Now, with music and writing both central to her artistic identity, Jenny stands out as an all-around storyteller with an evocative practice that explores the relationship between poetry and song, and hinges powerful narratives on the intricacies of a multifaceted musicality.
