Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 81

Lindsey Jordan is 19 I think, which is wild

 

Can’t imagine getting the opportunity to play music all over the world at such a young age. Such talented folk.

 

Probably not the best indication of how Julien is doing, but it's at least an indication of what she's been up to.

 

New Julien Baker songs on Spotify rn. Tokyo and Sucker Punch
Nvm there’s a new thread

 

Listening to this for the first time in quite a while and it's incredible

 

3 years old today. Still means the world to me.

 

How is this three years old? That went by so damn fast.

 

This album describes what depression is like better than maybe any album I've listened to. I wonder if most people who don't struggle would find it a hard listen, but for me it's deeply comforting.

 

This x 10000

 

I find both her albums tough listens (Sprained Ankle got me through a lot of rough shit so I have those memories attached, and this because of its lyrical content) but this knocks me back on a hard day. In spite of that, I've connected really strongly with both of them.

 

Sour Breath kills me every time. Seeing that live was unbelievable

 

One of the most important albums in my life

 

Fantastic album. Cannot believe it is 3 years old already. Time sure does fly.

 

Truly a masterpiece. I don't think I've ever connected with an album more than this

 

re-visit my review!

Julien Baker – Turn Out The Lights

 

This came out shortly before I was diagnosed as bipolar. I had spent the previous year suicidal, but since I have an anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I didn’t think to get help for quite some time. This record was a band-aid for me - I loved Sprained Ankle, but this felt like someone singing my own thoughts and insecurities back to me, and it felt wonderful to have someone else in the world understand. I don’t think any album has ever meant to me what this one did; it didn’t ‘save my life,’ but it was a life preserver as I figured out what steps I needed to take in order to save my life.

After it was the most listened to album for me from the end of 2017-2019, though, there came a point when I just couldn’t listen to it anymore. It’s just too linked to that time in my life that I’ve (thankfully) moved on from. And while my brain will never be fixed, I really hope to never be back there again like I was when I listened to this every single day. I’ll always love Turn Out the Lights, but it’s just too close to home to listen to these days.

 

This record, especially Hurt Less, helped me through the tough times after the information that the singer in my favourite band had sexually assaulted girls. I think I listened to the Hurt Less on repeat for a whole week after the news came out. Today, this record is one of the most important in my life. Julien has also become one of my favourite artists!

shoot, missed it, has anybody got it somehwere else to stream?

edit: I've found an article saying those are songs from them being dropped for one day only, so there's that. Also found a review on youtube with a guy not really knowing it's a cover, must say I went with that and listened with him pausing for comments, so obviously that took away the feeling, but fine, I was mostly just curious
