When talking about the songs on An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, Jenkins says, "Nothing ever really disappears, it just changes shape." Over the past few years, she's seen relationships altered, travelled three continents, wandered through museums and parks, and recorded free-associative guided tours of her New York haunts. Her observations have captured the humanity and nature around her, as well as the thought patterns, memories, and attempts to be present while dealing with the aftermath of personal pain and loss. With a singular voice, Jenkins has siphoned these ideas into the ambient folk that she presents. In her new video for "Ambiguous Norway," Jenkins brings us to Lyngør, the island in Norway where the seeds of An Overview on Phenomenal Nature were born. In collaboration with Norwegian photographer Ole Brodersen (who also shot the album cover), she ties his winter landscapes together with an ethereal form that echoes the murmurs of starlings in flight, and the refrain "you're gone you're everywhere."Watch the video for "Ambiguous Norway" here:
