Threnody by Griffin Jennings

Threnody is a tribute to this grim year we have lived through. In some ways I grew a lot this year, and most significantly I rediscovered a passion for music that I haven't felt for a long time. I'm so grateful to have met the amazing collaborators who featured on this album and lent their voices to something that was originally going to be a very insular affair. Despite my personal growth, I feel an overwhelming sadness due to the countless lives lost not only at the hands of a virus, but also a cruel government that does not protect or serve the very people who put them in power. This album is dedicated to everyone we've lost this year and is meant to be a sonic space to reflect and remember during a time when many of us have not been able to.

All sales of the album in 2020 will go to COVID Bail Out NYC, a community bail fund that has freed over 200 people from NYC jails since April. https://www.covidbailout.org

Thank you for listening,
-Griffin Dec 2020
