Julien Baker & Torres - Send A Prayer My Way (2025)


Send a Prayer My Way, the collaborative debut from Julien Baker and Torres, is a heartfelt exploration of Southern identity, queerness, and faith. Rooted in traditional country instrumentation—pedal steel, fiddle, and acoustic guitar—the album reclaims the genre through a queer lens, with tracks like “Tuesday” and “Bottom of a Bottle” addressing themes of love, regret, and resilience. Baker and Scott’s harmonies are both intimate and defiant, offering a nuanced portrayal of personal and collective struggles. While some moments lean into familiar country tropes, the duo's authentic storytelling and emotional depth breathe new life into the genre. Overall, Send a Prayer My Way stands as a poignant testament to the power of music as a means of reclamation and self-expression

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal.
