Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 36

this is beautiful

 

Hurt Less Piano Julien is my favourite kind of Julien.

 

What even is that final note.

 

i'm crying at work while listening to Happy To Be Here

 

no clue but my guess its somewhere between a D and E.. lol I could figure it out.. eff it I will

and I was right its a D and then it goes up to an E

 

assuming the beat up guitar in my office is in tune and not a half step detuned ga

 

Thought this was cool. From /r/indieheads

"Since this is out, I’ll post this. Julien is my best friend in the world. We’ve played in a band together for 8 years, and we’ve always even right beside each other. I sing on the song Hurt Less and it was so amazing to me that she wanted me to be a part of this record. I think this album is the best work she’s ever done and I could not be happier for her as she blows up until the rockstar she’s meant to be. I love her, I love this record, and I love her fans for giving the nicest person in the world a shot at her dreams. Hope you enjoy it."

 

I haven't listened to this since Wednesday night when I ripped open the vinyl. Finally listening again now and wow... Half way through Over which is instrumental you can tell it's going to be a special album

 

I forgot to thank Kevin Devine Wednesday night for introducing me to Julien and Pinegrove. I can't tell you how much I've listened to those two this last year.

First time two openers I didn't know much about blew me away so much they became favorite artists of mine.


She is one of the most talented musicians I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Hopefully she comes back to Florida soon

 

okay, finally hitting play for the first time at work.

 

This was perfect for a dark 5am commute to work.

 

My review is finished - will go live on Monday

 

The end of Claws In Your Back is going to be INSANE live

 

She’s referenced The Devil and God in a few interviews so far, and I just think it’s so cool to hear how one of my favorite bands influenced one of my favorite new(er) artists. It’s like there’s an intangible emotional throughline for my musical tastes.

 

The way her voice cuts out in "Televangelist" at the start of the second verse "I know..." is so intimate and raw. I love it

 

There needs to be a section above highly recommended that says something like essential listening or something haha bc that’s what this is, it’s essential to all music fans, doesn’t matter what genre you prefer.

 

Yo, I was good until Happy to be Here. Gut wrenching, but in a good way. Man.

 

I'm really, really, really happy this album exists. That I can listen to it every night as I'm getting to know the songs and the stories she's telling. That maybe hearing her declare, "I wanted to stay" can be the motivation I need to finally start taking my mental health seriously.

And I'm so happy that people are loving this. She deserves every iota of success this world can give her.

I'm so thankful to be able to grow with Julien and be a part of her artistry. I was never able to "grow up" with bands like Brand New or ManOrch, and I'm really glad I'll be able to reflect in 10 years on what it was like to see the rollout of this album, to listen to it for the first time, to watch it catapult her into indie stardom. I'm just so excited about Julien Baker.

 

Who's doing harmonies on Hurt Less? They sound perfect.

 

Fuck this album is amazing.

First take favorites are Shadowboxing, Sour Breath and Happy to Be Here.

 

Whoa, the ending to Claws in Your Back. Everyone was right.

 

oh boy this is a sad one

 

If you don't get chills at the end of "Claws In Your Back", are you even human?

 

Was the main "chill inducing" moment of the album for me.

 

The demons and saints line in Claws broke me. She played that song live all the way back in March, and I had been thinking about that lyric since I heard it.

"Let's keep it between us: I think they're the same"
