From <\/strong>North Carolina, US
Recommended if you like <\/strong>Fiona Apple, Ana\u00efs Mitchell, Indigo Girls
Up next<\/strong> New album The Hermit out now; touring the US with Jens Lekman in November<\/p>\n

Jordan Patterson\u2019s name is unfortunately so close to that of a certain conservative Canadian author that Google suggests autocorrecting your search results when you look her up. The 23-year-old US songwriter couldn\u2019t be much further from his brand of hypermasculine evangelism. Her debut album, The Hermit, recalls the rich 90s scene of offbeat North American female singer-songwriters who would go on to share the stage at Lilith Fair<\/a>: Shawn Colvin\u2019s acoustic breeziness, Fiona Apple\u2019s earnest blues, Indigo Girls\u2019 strident joy. (Similar era, very different scene: Patterson\u2019s voice has an expressive skippiness that also channels Life Without Buildings\u2019 Sue Tompkins.) Her songs \u2013 and I say this as the greatest compliment \u2013 could easily have lived on the soundtrack to cosy mother-daughter drama Gilmore Girls<\/a>. Fittingly, God wonders whether she should have a baby, and Hey Mama pays tribute to her own mother, pairing the scrappy triumph of Tom Petty\u2019s Free Fallin\u2019 with impressionistic vocals that feel like a singer nudging her way towards revelation.<\/p>\n

Patterson grew up in North Carolina and moved to Los Angeles as a kid, in part so the family could support her brother\u2019s dreams of becoming an actor. She studied at the starry LA County High School for the Arts (alumni include Phoebe Bridgers and Haim) and also wanted to act \u2013 until music became her thing, her taste evolving beyond the family\u2019s soul records and church background when she discovered Radiohead and Nick Drake. After her brother and grandmother died, she scrapped her plan to study acting, no longer able to pretend to be other people, and threw herself into music. Since then, she\u2019s supported Cameron Winter<\/a> and soon heads out on a US tour with Jens Lekman<\/a>. Feels like the good kind of cult success lies her way. Laura Snapes<\/em><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s best new tracks<\/h2>\n

Beverly Glenn-Copeland \u2013 Let Us Dance<\/strong>
<\/strong>Glenn-Copeland celebrates his relationship with his wife, Elizabeth, in this revamped version of a Keyboard Fantasies song, a hymnal benediction about joy and movement featuring a new choral accompaniment.<\/p>\n

Oklou \u2013 Viscus ft FKA twigs<\/strong>
<\/strong>\u201cSometimes I\u2019m so fragile \/ As if someone else\u2019s face feels more like home,\u201d the French producer trills, smartly contrasting trance\u2019s diaphanous high end with lyrics about the difficulty of feeling grounded.<\/p>\n

Haim \u2013 Tie You Down ft Bon Iver<\/strong>
<\/strong>Can Danielle Haim and Justin Vernon just start a sensual gospel duo already? \u201cI want you here but I don\u2019t know how,\u201d they sing, channelling the starry-eyed yearning of their recent records. Sounds like you do, actually, guys!<\/p>\n

Jessica Moss \u2013 One, Now ft Tony Buck<\/strong>
<\/strong>From the Canadian musician and Thee Silver Mt Zion member\u2019s first full ambient album, a dusky invocation of Middle Eastern music is darkened and disturbed by shaky percussion and an ominous vocal chorus.<\/p>\n

Madison Cunningham \u2013 Break the Jaw<\/strong>
<\/strong>Frustration bristles through this account of a broken relationship that neither side can forgive or forget, the California songwriter\u2019s voice full of recrimination for both parties as ornate woodwind darts around her.<\/p>\n

Jay Som \u2013 Past Lives ft Hayley Williams<\/strong>
<\/strong>From the Death Cab school of cold-weather melancholy, this crunchy collab between Melina Duterte and the Paramore frontwoman is the perfect accompaniment to getting introspective as the dark nights draw in.<\/p>\n

Ouri \u2013 Paris ft Oli XL<\/strong>
<\/strong>\u201cMmm-mm I like it,\u201d the Montreal producer sings on a sumptuous ode to discovering the possibilities of her city as a teenager out until dawn: the production flickers with playful touches and nocturnal intrigue.<\/p>\n
