Pisgah returns with her haunting new single, โBend to Break,โ released on October 17, 2025, a stirring preview of her forthcoming album, Faultlines, now slated for release on December 4. The Southern-born, London-based artist, whose real name is Brittney Jenkins, has always had a knack for blending tenderness with tension. Here, she channels her Americana roots through the lens of atmospheric alt-rock, as it aches with introspection in the glimmering light of defiance. Produced in her home studio and mixed by Austinโs Dan Duszynski (known for his work with Jess Williamson and Loma), the track carries the moody grace of Aimee Mann and the emotional heft of Emma Ruth Rundle, all wrapped in Pisgahโs distinctly poetic style.
โBend to Breakโ opens with soft, shimmery guitar chords rippling like sunlight through water, and Pisgahโs calm voice drifts in with a burden around her memories. The meditative stillness to the opening conveys the vacant abstraction of the mind. Her rich, sensitive vocals hover over the melody with a weary grace, each word landing like the exhale after a long silence. But as the song unfolds, the percussion starts to pulse, the guitars swell and shimmer, and her tone tightens as the introspection turns into revelation.
Towards the end, Pisgahโs voice grows more tense with the gist of passion as she sings of endings and awakenings, the painful beauty of leaving behind what no longer fits. The drums thunder like a heart finally deciding to break free, while the guitar lines twist and climb, echoing the internal storm. Itโs both cathartic and cinematic โ the sound of collapse transforming into clarity.
In โBend to Break,โ Pisgah finds the balance between ruin and release. Itโs the kind of song that sneaks under your skin โ intimate, atmospheric, and quietly devastating โ proving that sometimes breaking is just another way of beginning again.
