\"TORRES<\/a><\/p>\n

Thirstier<\/em><\/strong>, the follow-up to 2020\u2019s Silver Tongue<\/em>, is TORRES<\/strong>\u2019s most exuberant and daring record to date, showcasing her in thrilling freefall. \u201cI\u2019ve been conjuring this deep, deep joy that I honestly didn\u2019t feel for most of my life,<\/em>\u201d says Mackenzie Scott. \u201cI feel like a rock within myself. And I\u2019ve started to feel that I have what it takes to help other people conjure their joy, too.<\/em>\u201d The album is a searing and life-affirming eruption of an album that revolts against the grey drag of time and explodes the borders of imaginative possibility, wondering what could happen if we found a way to make our fantasies inexhaustible..<\/p>\n

Recorded in autumn 2020 at Middle Farm Studios in the UK, Thirstier<\/em> marks a turn towards a bigger, more bombastic sound for TORRES. The anxious hush that fell over much of Scott\u2019s previous music gets turned inside-out in songs tailored for post-plague celebration. Scott co-produced the album with Rob Ellis and Peter Miles, drawing on her experience self-producing Silver Tongue<\/em> to push her music onto an even broader scale. Guitar-driven walls of sound, reminiscent of producer Butch Vig\u2019s work with Garbage and Nirvana, surge and dissipate like surf in high winds, carrying Scott\u2019s commanding voice to the fore..<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to channel my intensity into something that felt positive and constructive, as opposed to being intense in a destructive or eviscerating way,<\/em>\u201d Scott notes. \u201cI love the idea that intensity can actually be something life-saving or something joyous.<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thirstier <\/em>clasps together love songs from all angles. Romantic love, platonic love, familial love, self-love, and freeing spiritual love all commingle, all feeding one another and vaulting toward the horizon. Scott sings of love that never knows scarcity. With Thirstier<\/em>, TORRES clears the way to that wellspring and invites others to follow her there.<\/p>\n

Note<\/em>: The LP is available on indies exclusive red\/yellow vinyl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
