Single Of The Day - "What Do Whales Dream About at Night" by Jessie Kilguss

Jessie Kilguss is an alternative singer-songwriter from NYC, whose folk-infused vocals and catchy strums, crosses over the bridge of neo-blues, indie-pop, power-pop, baroque-rock and alt-country. She is an uplifting artist, whose offbeat, and thought-provoking lyrics, casts rainbows after the storm, and nourish the soul. Along with the stompy beats, ethereal harmonies, acoustic clatter, and spiral strums Kilguss warms the discord in the heaviest of hearts and fills the spirit with an afterglow of sunny optimism. Think Joni Mitchell, Martha Wainwright, Vashti Bunyan and Beth Orton and you get a glimpse into the level of talent Kilguss oozes. She is a wistful breeze of meloncholy, remedied by the seasonal shifts, twlight tinkles and resurging age of a new dawn.

Having released her sublime album “What Do Whales Dream About at Night” on 23^rd September 2022, Kilguss has released the self-titled track, which has been selected as my Single Of The Day. Introspective, pensive and magical, What Do Whales Dream About at Night, sails the tides of neo-folk, whilst peering at the shores of baroque rock. It’s an enchanting track, whose piano tinkles and orchestral breeze, capture the choppy currents and wonderous beauty from afar. Along with the beguling vocals, What Do Whales Dream About at Night, submerges in the moment, whilst synchronising with the motions of the ocean.
