Every time Torres drops a new song, it is a day of celebration in this household at least.
Cowboy guilt, the third song to be shared from her upcoming album Sprinters (less than 2 weeks to go!), is big, playful and fun in a way that's reminiscent of St Vincent.
If anything could have made me more excited than I already was for Sprinters, it is this.
Torres is back! The excitement in the (this) room is palpable.
Singer songwriter Mackenzie Scott has announced her second album, Sprinter, set for a May release. In the meantime, she's given us a taste of what's to come with album opener strange hellos.
Strange hellos is stronger, angrier and darker than anything on her debut Torres. Is this a departure from her stoutly acoustic roots? A video she's shared on her site points to a more melancholy, brooding direction.
Either way, my interest is well and truly piqued.
Lady lamb the beekeeper is an incredible talent. The singer songwriter is half Screaming females, half Jeff Buckley (I think).
It's a crime that Ripely Pine wasn't on more best of 2013 lists.
Torres is a songstress from Nashville whose:
- first name isn't Fernando,
- tumblr blog is pretty cool, if you like that sorta thing,
- self titled debut album is a display of great musical talent and a sure fire warning flare of genius to come.
Torres is one of those artists you just know is going to grow to be something really and truly special. For now, we must make do with her beautiful debut - I especially love Honey and Moon & Black.
