At its core, "Send A Prayer My Way" is a reminder that music can be both a refuge and a call to action. With its gritty, working-class ethos, the album refuses to ask for forgiveness or permission, mirroring the unrelenting spirit of past outlaws like Lucinda Williams and Loretta Lynn. The tracks pulse with humor, defiance, and a deep, soul-searching vulnerability, tackling themes of shame, love, and second chances. As TORRES and Baker deliver their most personal work yet, they create a space for listeners to confront their own stories, finding solace and strength in their unapologetic honesty.

Julien Baker’s solo debut, Sprained Ankle, was one of the most widely acclaimed works of 2015. The album, recorded by an 18-year-old and her friend in only a few days, was a bleak yet hopeful, intimate document of staggering experiences and grace, centered entirely around Baker’s voice, guitar, and unblinking honesty. Sprained Ankle appeared on year-end lists everywhere from NPR Music to The AV Club to New York Magazine’s Vulture.
With Turn Out The Lights, the now 21-year-old Baker returns to a much bigger stage, but with the same core of breathtaking vulnerability and resilience. From its opening moments —when herchiming, evocative melody is accompanied by swells of strings —Turn Out The Lights throws open the doors to the world without sacrificing the intimacy that has become a hallmark of her songs. The album explores how people live and come to terms with their internal conflict, and the alternately shattering and redemptive ways these struggles playout in relationships. Baker casts an unflinching and accepting eye on the duality of –and contradictions in –the human experience, at times evenfinding humor and joy in the midst of suffering. She ultimately calls on herlisteners to move beyond “good” and “bad,” or “happy” and “sad,” to embrace more complex truths.
