Jessica Claire Cornelius is a Los Angeles based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. She was a fronting member of the Australian indie rock band Teeth & Tongue. Upon the group's disbandment in 2017, she released a single, "Jealousy" as Jess Cornelius and toured the US supporting Australian singer-songwriter, Paul Kelly.[1] She has released one full-length album Distance (2020), and the EP Nothing is Lost (2017). Pitchfork wrote that the EP "felt at last like Cornelius’ real breakthrough—arching psalms of sadness and disappointment, rendered with the quiver and clarity of Angel Olsen.”[2]

Distance was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Tony Buchen, and featured contributions by harpist Mary Lattimore, drummer Stella Mozgawa, and whistler Molly Lewis.[3] The album was released in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] NPR Music's World Cafe featured the album and aired live recordings of the songs from Cornelius' home.[5] The Guardian described Distance as "a kind of 21st century amalgam of Karen Dalton’s delicate folk and 70s jam band Americana; there are flashes of 80s pop-blues, and the woozy-yet-righteous Californian grunge of Hole’s Malibu.”[4]

Following the release of Distance, Cornelius toured in the US with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard[6] and Ty Segall[7]. In February 2024, Cornelius released a new single "People Move On" and announced that her new album CARE/TAKING would be released June 14, 2024.[8]
