Julien Baker and TORRES Announce New Album, Share New Single ‘Sylvia’

Julien Baker and Torres have announced their first collaborative album: Send a Prayer My Way arrives on April 18 via Matador. It includes the previously unveiled single ‘Sugar in the Tank’, and a new track, ‘Sylvia’, is out today. Check it out below.

The album has been in the works since Baker and Torres played their first show together in 2016, which ended with them turning to each other and saying, “You know, we should make a country album.”

Commenting on ‘Sylvia’, TORRES, aka Mackenzie Scott, said: “The morning I went to pick up my dog Sylvia from an upstate shelter, I was at home making my coffee and I turned on WFMU and Dolly Parton’s ‘Cracker Jack’ was on. I burst into tears—it felt like the universe was telling me she was going to be mine (Sylvia was only meant to be a foster). I remember thinking that I’d love to write a song like that, a song that people could feel in their chest within five seconds of turning on the radio, because anyone who has ever had the honor of sharing a home with a beloved pet knows that a pet is family—they’re the best friends you could ever have.”
