Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 6

all about this

 

going to get tickets to see her in NYC 10/27, i need to experience her music in person. i don't know anyone else who listens to her so i'm going solo and dont even care haha

 

she is such an incredible guitarist i LOVE the tones and sounds she gets out of that telecaster.

 

It's truly incredible, she's the complete package.

 

she self-produced this too

 

You sure, wasn't there an Instagram picture with a producer or something who said they just laid down 18 songs

 

self produced but it was mixed by someone else


The album was recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in her hometown of Memphis, TN, and mixed by Craig Silvey (The National, Florence & the Machine, Arcade Fire). This evolution fromSprained Ankle’sintentionally spareproduction allowed greater scope and freedom for Baker,who is still the album’s sole writer and producer. Strings and woodwinds now shade the corners of her compositions, and Baker takes topiano rather than guitar on several tracks. In songs like the epic “Claws In Your Back,” these new textures push Baker’s work to cinematic heights of intensity.

 

Finally got a second to listen to the single and woooooow that last minute is just something

 

honestly, going solo is almost ideal. seeing Julien live is a very personal experience (atleast for me). as soon as she starts you would have forgotten you even came with someone that's how captivating she is.

 

Oh nice! Will be interesting to hear some more layers in her music

 

Yes

 

1,000+?? Crazy! Last week, I saw her at a 250 cap venue, granted it sold out pretty quick.

 

Appointments is absolutely perfect in every way. It absolutely destroyed me when I heard it this morning. This is 100% my most anticipated album of the year.

 

dc is 1200

 

damn, that's wild

 

When she came through Michigan earlier this year she played the same theater Sufjan Stevens played on the Carrie and Lowell tour. It wasn't sold out, but it was still very full.

 

last 30 seconds are real cool, rest didn't grab me that much tbph. this is gonna be a good record though for sure.

 

I enjoyed the song but I hope we get more variety on the album. More drums might help, I just don't want everything to be too similar as some of these new songs have been feeling lately. Still hyped though.

 

Yeah, that was my one big thing. sonically was exactly what I expected from a Julien Baker song.

 

Ordered it. I'm new to her music but I'm so excited for this

 

Damn I love Appointments. Gonna go pre-order now.

 

Hoping maybe there is a tour exclusive variant? Either way I'll grab it at the show and save on some shipping haha

 

Hear Julien Baker's Incredibly Moving 'Appointments'
NPR article

 

Damnit both splatter exclusives are already sold out

Do I go for clear or black????

 

Going to go ahead and reserve my AOTY slot, which let's be real, it's been reserved since I first heard two of these songs at SXSW 2016.
