Commended American songstresses TORRES and JULIAN BAKER
dropped a country-pop duet track, named Sugar In The Tank last
month.

And now along with the news that they recorded a full album of songs, titled Send A Prayer My Way, slated for release on April 18, they offer another charming preview.

LIVE KICK OF THE DAY – Hearty Rocker TORRES With ‘ARE YOU SLEEPWALKING?’

One live track a day keeps the doctor away

She has a dead drop gorgeous voice, she rocks dead drop gorgeous, she looks deadrop gorgeous and she wears dead drop gorgeous cowboy boots. She’s Orlando born, New York based songstress TORRES (born Mackenzie Ruth Scott). Last year she released her 5th longplayer, titled Thirstier. A highly acclaimed triumph.

“Anthemic and euphoric, loaded with hooks and
joyous reflections on love and self-discovery.”

Pitchfork

And last Thursday, she played (for the 2nd time) in a club in my hometown of Ghent, Belgium). We were all impressed in a hypnotic way, all eyes and ears on Torres (“you are
so polite
“) who went buck wild at times while producing raw garage punk rock electricity.

This KEXP live performance of Are You Sleepwalking?, the pithy opening groove
from last year’s album, will give you an idea of what Ghent experienced.
