PINLIGHT is the alt-pop songwriting project of Edinburgh-based multi-instrumentalist Jenny Laahs. Jenny is a hearing-impaired musician, acquiring a profound unilateral hearing loss at the age of 4. She began performing on the songwriter scene in Edinburgh in 2014, playing ukulele and piano. In 2018 she transitioned to a more electronic sound and adopted the moniker PINLIGHT, in reference to A Pin-Light Bent by Joanna Newsom. Inspired by <a href="spotify:artist:1aSxMhuvixZ8h9dK9jIDwL" data-name="Kate Bush">Kate Bush</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7gjAu1qr5C2grXeQFFOGeh" data-name="Passion Pit">Passion Pit</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3ghT43Gj41br25PvBCDS22" data-name="Stealing Sheep">Stealing Sheep</a>, PINLIGHT combines these influences into retro-tinged soundscapes, fresh but with a sense of nostalgia.
After gigging around Edinburgh with a live band in 2018, Jenny retreated to her home studio in 2019 to record the independently produced and released debut album, Grow Slow, produced entirely in mono in recognition of her hearing loss. In 2020, Jenny has been working on remixes to be released in October and November, as well as writing new original music for 2021.
As heard on BBC Introducing Scotland.
