JULIEN BAKER & TORRES SHARE NEW SINGLE “DIRT”| NEW TRACK OFF UPCOMING DEBUT ALBUM SEND A PRAYER MY WAY OUT APRIL 18
MATADOR RECORDS
Julien Baker & TORRES have released a new single, “Dirt,” offering another glimpse into their forthcoming collaborative album, Send a Prayer My Way, out April 18 via Matador Records. Listen/share “Dirt” HERE.
Julien Baker & TORRES have already released three critically acclaimed singles from Send a Prayer My Way. Songs “Sylvia” and “Tuesday” 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 the #2 most-added track at AAA radio and currently holds the #11 spot on the chart. Earlier this month they also previewed “Bottom of a Bottle” during their appearance on The Daily Show.
In support of the LP Baker & TORRES will embark on the “Send A Prayer My Way” U.S. tour with headline dates kicking off April 23 in Richmond, VA and concluding in Omaha, NE on May 12. Additionally they are also playing previously announced festival dates – all shows are listed below and tickets are on-sale HERE.
Send A Prayer My Way has been in the works since Baker and TORRES played their first show together in 2016 and at the end one singer turned to the other and said, “You know, we should make a country album.” This is the origin story, the stuff of legend in the world of country music, and the beginning of a collaboration between two artists already admired for their spare, elegant lyrics as well as the courage to share their struggles with those who love their music. It’s also the beginning of creating a work that, like the most enduring country albums, sustains and inspires, reminding both singer and listener that not one of us is ever totally alone in this world, that music is a steady companion.
