Jenny Gillespie Mason Releases New Album

Jenny Gillespie Mason has released her album titled In the Safety of the Light, which was produced by Noah Georgeson. The album was recorded at a private studio located in Los Angeles and represents the artist's return to acoustic folk roots. Musically, both Mason and Georgeson drew their inspiration from the pastoral atmosphere found in 1970s British folk. The album recordings were carried out live as an ensemble during sessions that took place in the spring and fall of 2024.

For instance, the song Touch Everyone on Earth emerged from a sleepless night spent in a New York hotel room. Another song on the album, Perseus, examines a past life tied directly to the ancient Eleusinian mysteries.

The track Rungs of Love was inspired by accounts from Mother Mirra Alfassa regarding the various stages of love. Additionally, the track titled Woman from Nottingham draws directly from a memory Mason holds of a university professor. This professor spoke to students and reminded them of the beauty of the Earth a few hours after the events of September 11.
