Jennie Gillespie Mason weaves together an entrancing tapestry of sounds on her single “Rungs of Love.” The track from her forthcoming new album Safety of the Light (out 6/12/26 via Native Cat Recordings) has as its root a kind of folk vocals and guitars sound in the classic mode but more inspired by more experimental leaning practitioners of the art like Bert Jansch and Vashti Bunyan. Mason also puts electronic sounds into the song and orchestral strings so that it feels like you’re listening in on entire other world. Blips shimmer and spark off like a lightning bug into the night or a shooting star suddenly bursting overhead and fading out. The song is about love as a path to higher consciousness and one to be savored in the moment. As gentle and romantic a spirit as one hears in the song it also dares to veer off into psychedelic sounds without losing sight of its core emotional resonance and that itself serves well the song’s message of being grounded in human experience while in pursuit of personal transformation.
