JULIEN BAKER
turn out the lights
Matador
she follows up her blistering debut with another gut-wrenching & deeply empathetic record that embraces the greys & complex truths of humanity & mental health, expressed through heart-breakingly sincere vocals & aching guitar/piano-centred melodies.
‘Appointments’ is a prime example of her keen songwriting ability: a viscerally moving track that culminates in a swell of Baker’s voice, guitar, & piano. this album expands upon the sound & vision of the last, whilst retaining her idiosyncratic haunting, confessional song-writing style. we recommend this to fans of phoebe bridgers, nadia reid, daughter, & Keaton Henson. "[it] may be bleak, but that only makes the moments of catharsis all the more illuminating" 8/10 - uncut.
