For Fans Of: Lucy Dacus / Big Thief / St. Vincent TORRES – moniker of Mackenzie Scott – will release her new album, Thirstier, on July 30th on Merge Records. Thirstier revolts against the gray drag of time, a searing and life-affirming eruption of an album that wonders what could happen if we found a way to make our fantasies inexhaustible. Today, she presents its title track, a thesis statement for the album as a whole that highlights its strive towards abundance. Scott sings of love that never knows scarcity: “The more of you I drink / The thirstier I get.” Following a stretch of melancholy guitar, thunderous percussion crashes in along with Scott’s voice:  “Keep me in your fantasies / Even though you live with me.” It’s an urgent and intense encapsulation of desire.   Recorded in the fall of 2020 at Middle Farm Studios in the UK and co-produced by Scott, Rob Ellis and Peter Miles, Thirstier marks a turn towards a bigger, more bombastic sound for TORRES. The anxious hush that fell over much of Scott’s previous music gets turned inside-out in songs tailored for post-plague celebration. Guitar-driven walls of sound surge and dissipate like surf in high winds, carrying Scott’s commanding voice to the fore, as displayed in the album’s first two singles “Hug From a Dinosaur” and “Don’t Go Puttin Wishes in My Head.”   “Torres’ new album is ready to kick some ass... ’90s-style alt-rock anthems suit her well, and Thirstier, her most accessible record yet, deserves an equally broad audience to finally discover her.” - AV Club   “Torres makes dreamy, immersive anthems that are as catchy as they are emotional.” - Stereogum FACEBOOK EVENT RSVP for updates WEBSITE @torreslovesyou Concert Tickets $22

TORRES – moniker of Mackenzie Scott – will release her new album, Thirstier, on July 30th on Merge Records. Thirstier revolts against the gray drag of time, a searing and life-affirming eruption of an album that wonders what could happen if we found a way to make our fantasies inexhaustible. Today, she presents its title track, a thesis statement for the album as a whole that highlights its strive towards abundance. Scott sings of love that never knows scarcity: “The more of you I drink / The thirstier I get.” Following a stretch of melancholy guitar, thunderous percussion crashes in along with Scott’s voice:  “Keep me in your fantasies / Even though you live with me.” It’s an urgent and intense encapsulation of desire.
 
Recorded in the fall of 2020 at Middle Farm Studios in the UK and co-produced by Scott, Rob Ellis and Peter Miles, Thirstier marks a turn towards a bigger, more bombastic sound for TORRES. The anxious hush that fell over much of Scott’s previous music gets turned inside-out in songs tailored for post-plague celebration. Guitar-driven walls of sound surge and dissipate like surf in high winds, carrying Scott’s commanding voice to the fore, as displayed in the album’s first two singles “Hug From a Dinosaur” and “Don’t Go Puttin Wishes in My Head.”
