Julien Baker & Torres – Send A Prayer My Way (CD)
Product Details
Julien Baker and Mackenzie Scott (Torres) have each built catalogs rooted in unflinching confession and sonic precision, Baker through her work with boygenius and her own solo records, Scott through a string of critically acclaimed albums that blend raw lyricism with careful arrangement. Their collaboration here draws on a shared sensibility that owes as much to Townes Van Zandt and Gillian Welch as it does to indie rock, two writers who understand that restraint can hit harder than bombast.
Julien Baker & Torres' 'Send A Prayer My Way' was written and sung in the best of the outlaw tradition-defiant, subversive, working class, and determined to wrestle not only with addiction, regret and bad decisions, but also with oppressive systems of power. Mercifully, this is only the beginning of the stories TORRES and Baker are determined to tell. Because these are also songs about radical empathy and second chances, and third chances, and while there's plenty of struggle and regret in here, there's also humor and defiance.
