    Julien Baker will release her new album, Little Oblivions, on February 26th, 2021. Today she’s shared a video for the lead single, “Faith Healer,” and pre-orders are now up.

    Julien also talked with Rolling Stone about the new album:

    That Baker’s first full-band album is also her most focused on earthly concerns is not coincidental. As the album’s sole producer, Baker uses her newly expanded rock palette to tell a story of the reckoning and renewal she’s undergone over the past two years. On “Relative Fiction,” she slowly builds on a typically sparse, moody arrangement before the drums announce themselves and Baker suddenly interrupts the doom-and-gloom ballad with a thrilling pop chorus: “I don’t need a savior/I need you to take me home,” she sings as the band swoops in behind her.

    This song is perfect. It’s exactly the direction I was hoping she’d take (and even a bit more). Really excited to see her grow her sound with a full band.

    A little bummed about the long release date though. Her music is perfect for fall moving into winter, but I’ll take what I can get.

    February seems forever away, but it’s nice to have a date locked in to look forward too.

    after the last record I was hoping she’d add a little extra instrumentation in just to make the next record feel different. Glad she did. It’s nothing over powering and so far it compliments Julien’s voice.

    D'oh! Prestigious

    I love that instrumental passage in the middle, and overally it's got some Frightened Rabbit influence all over the core. At first I wasn't taken aback all that much, but I really enjoy it now, listening on repeat.
