January 15 street date. For years, Julien Baker and a group of close friends have performed as the band Forrister (formerly The Star Killers), but when college took her four hours away, Baker's need to continue creating found an outlet through solo work. At the prompting of a friend, she ventured to Richmond, VA to record a number of her new songs at Spacebomb Studios. Thankfully, now the world will be able to share in her passion and sorrow.
October 27 street date. Julien Baker releases her highly anticipated second album,'Turn Out The Lights'. 'The album arrives nearly two years to the day after her critically acclaimed debut LP, 'Sprained Ankle'. The album was recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in her hometown Memphis, TN, and mixed by Craig Silvey (The National, Arcade Fire). The new album expands upon the sound and vision of Sprained Ankle while retaining the haunting, confessional songwriting style for which she has become known. This evolution from ‘Sprained Ankle’s intentionally spare production allows Baker — who is still the album’s sole producer and writer — greater scope and freedom. Strings and woodwinds now shade the corners of her compositions, and Baker takes to piano rather than guitar on several tracks, pushing the 21-year old Baker’s work to cinematic heights of intensity.
