JULIEN BAKER & TORRES SHARE NEW SINGLE “BOTTOM OF A BOTTLE”| NEW TRACK OFF UPCOMING DEBUT ALBUM SEND A PRAYER MY WAY OUT APRIL 18

MATADOR RECORDS

This Friday, April 18, two of music’s most iconic young songwriters Julien Baker (boygenius) & TORRES will release their highly anticipated debut collaborative album, Send a Prayer My Way, via Matador Records. Send A Prayer My Way has been taking shape since Baker and TORRES shared a stage for the first time in 2016. After the show, one turned to the other and said, “You know, we should make a country album.” That offhand comment became the spark—a kind of origin myth—for a collaboration rooted in mutual respect and a shared commitment to honest, elegant songwriting. Both artists are known for laying bare their struggles in ways that resonate deeply with fans, and this album is no exception. Like the most enduring country records, Send A Prayer My Way offers both solace and strength, a reminder that none of us are ever truly alone—and that music can be one of life’s most loyal companions.

Ahead of Send A Prayer My Way, the duo today officially released “Bottom of a Bottle” which embodies the duo’s love of 90s country and Americana with fiddles, parlor piano, steel guitars and a soaring chorus. Baker and TORRES debuted the song with a performance on The Daily Show. Stereogum took note saying, “Just like the early singles ‘Sylvia’ and ‘Tuesday’ this one has Torres on lead vocals, with Baker hitting some killer harmonies throughout…they sounded amazing. The classic-country style agrees with them.”

Julien Baker & TORRES have already released four critically acclaimed singles from Send a Prayer My Way. Songs “Dirt,” “Sylvia” and “Tuesday” have showcased their shared love of country music while highlighting their distinct songwriting styles and interpretations of the genre. Previous to that they debuted “Sugar in the Tank” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon— the song was #2 most-added track and a top ten single at AAA radio.
