Album Review: Send A Prayer My Way by Julien Baker & TORRES
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
Think of it like the Indigo Girls go west: two queer indie singer-songwriters who form a creative partnership and return to their roots. TORRES and Baker, born in Georgia and Tennessee respectively, reconnect with the music of their youth and expand their horizons anew on Send a Prayer My Way. Listening to the gentle twang of their intermingling voices and plucky instrumentals, you'd never know it was their first foray into country.
Opinion: Fantastic
Both raised Southern Baptist, Julien Baker and Mackenzie Scott (a.k.a. Torres) have taken similar paths, breaking free of the conservative environs of their childhoods and becoming singer-songwriters acclaimed for their brawny guitar riffs and queer self-expression. But, it turns out, you just can't take the South out of the coastal indie darlings. On Send a Prayer My Way, their first album as a duo, Baker and Scott reclaim the honky-tonk music they grew up on.
