Product Description
Singer-songwriter Julian Baker, with her angelic voice, releases her second album following her masterpiece debut! Her debut album, "Sprained Ankle," released in 2015 on a small indie label in California, became a sensation, and the prestigious label MATADOR took notice of its overwhelming popularity and released a worldwide reissue in 2017. Singer-songwriter Julian Baker's debut album was praised by major music media outlets, with comments such as "Music that poetically and richly expresses atonement and trauma, from a fragile fragility to the strength that leads to confession" (The New York Times) and "She is a wonderfully talented composer, her imagery pierces the senses, but her voice holds the heart and never lets go" (Pitchfork). Her second album is finally complete! Julian herself wrote and composed the music for this album, and the mixing was handled by Craig Silvey, an engineer who has worked with The National and Arcade Fire. Recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in her hometown of Tennessee, a studio also used by Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan, the album showcases her genius songwriting skills while candidly singing about the inner struggles everyone faces?how to confront difficulties and how they affect oneself and those around them?using her own life and the lives of loved ones as themes. This is one of the most important works in the US indie scene of 2017.
