You Are the Morning, is jasmine.4.t’s full length debut. Produced by and featuring all three members of boygenius. And as luck would have it, Lucy Dacus put out her new album, Forever Is a Feeling, just a couple months later and announced jasmine as one of her openers on the tour, which was coming to New York City to the iconic Radio City Music Hall for two nights.
I got to work setting up an interview, which I’m so thrilled to be sharing with you on this episode.
Rights for the transgender community is hanging in the balance. Just a week prior to sitting down with jasmine, the uk supreme court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women, in a case with wide reaching consequences for how equality laws are applied and in the U.S., the threat of widespread loss of trans and lgbtq+ rights is also intensifying. In 2020, there were just over 100 bills aimed at lgbtq+ people. in 2025, that number has ballooned to more than 850, the vast majority singling out transgender americans. currently in the us, nearly 40 percent of all transgender youth age 13-17 are living in states where they can no longer access life-saving, best practices medical care. The consequence of this climate of discrimination and intolerance has led to violence and intimidation of transgender people rising to an all time high. Anti-lgbtq+ stigma also drives alarmingly high rates of depression, anxiety and suicide. jasmine’s story of trauma, bravery, and transformation thankfully, has an inspiring and heartwarming new chapter, brought about through support from community, ptsd therapy, and, music.
Recorded at Mophonics Studios in New York City.
jasmine.4.t’s full length debut YOU ARE THE MORNING is available now on Saddest Factory Records.
ABOUT jasmine.4.t
Trans singer-songwriter jasmine.4.t (Jasmine Cruickshank) sings about the tangled joy, heartache, camaraderie and isolation of transfeminine life. Based in Manchester, she is the first UK signee to Saddest Factory Records.
Jasmine came to the guitar after her late uncle passed his instrument down. Soon, she was playing in “silly skate punk bands” and self-releasing scrappy originals on Breakfast Records, the label she co-founded with friends in Bristol. But her songs post-transition are a different beast, brimming with new life and experience. She originally considered releasing DIY, and submitted demos only to Saddest Factory Records after touring with Lucy Dacus. It was Dacus who broke the news: “‘Okay, I just played your demos for Phoebe [Bridgers] in the car,’” Jasmine recounts. “‘She’s on the phone to her manager, trying to work out how she can sign you.’”
jasmine.4.t’s music bursts with moments of love through its fingerpicked guitar, punk bombast, and raw vocal takes. She combines performance with activism and uses her platform to advocate for trans rights and marginalised groups.
