Album Intro:

Following fresh in the tracks of her 2007 debut Batten the Hatches (which earned Youngs a record deal with Nettwerk and a song on the popular TV series Weeds, among other highlights), Transmitter Failure begins with a knowing nod to the past in the ukulele, double bass and jaunty percussion of the 40-second intro, 'First Person' before quickly launching ahead into the album's next track, 'Led to the Sea,' a powerful rock/pop single aimed in a brand new direction. Jenny pulls off the transition without missing a beat One listen will have you believing this is the kind of music she's been making all along. As Youngs explains, 'The first track is kind of meant as a fakeout. At the same time, it's an excerpt from 'Last Person,' which comes much later in the record. So, backwards and forwards...' It's a theme that creeps up more than occasionally on the album.
