Had my first listen this morning. I’d been putting it off as I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it (not really had much to do with the country genre being from the UK) but it’s the kind of music that isn’t pushing too dar and sounds very pleasing to my ear. My three year old was also walking around and dancing saying “JU-lee-ehn and TOH-rez”. Cute.
On Julien' IG.. she hinted that more Julien Baker & Torres tour dates will be announced tomorrow, fingers crossed for UK dates!!
Was supposed to see them next week. Really hope she’s doing okay and this time off will be good for her.
In a cup half-full perspective, it’s probably the best that she saw this as the best call and was able to go through with it. Hope she has the support she needs.
She's been touring hard last year and between that and the promotion and touring for this.. I don't blame her for wanted to prioritise her health first and cancel the tour, hopefully she will get the help she needs, take her time and come back when shes good and ready.. no rush at all
Julien and Torres were supposed to play Red Rocks tonight, opening for Rilo Kiley. Due to the cancellation of the tour, they were replaced by Ben Gibbard. As a tribute to Julien, Ben covered Julien’s song “Sprained Ankle” tonight.
This is still one of my fave albums of the year, shame it ended the way it but hopefully it's not forgotten come AOTY list time.
