Julien Baker & TORRES debuted a new song “Bottom of a Bottle” on The Daily Show. The track is off the duo’s forthcoming release Send A Prayer My Way, out on April 18 via Matador Records. In support of the LP Baker & TORRES will embark on the “Send A Prayer My Way” U.S. tour. The dates kick off April 23 in Richmond, VA and conclude in Omaha, NE on May 12th.

Send A Prayer My Way has been in the works for years. Imagine two young musicians playing their first show together at Lincoln Hall, a much-loved venue here in Chicago. It’s January 15, 2016, and bone chillingly cold outside, especially for a couple of southerners. When the show is over and they’re shooting the shit, one singer says to the other, “We should make a country album.” This is the origin story, the stuff of legend in the world of country music, and the beginning of a collaboration between two artists already admired for their spare, elegant lyrics as well as the courage to share their struggles with those who love their music. It’s also the beginning of creating a work that, like the most enduring country albums, sustains and inspires, reminding both singer and listener that not one of us is ever totally alone in this world, that music is a steady companion. Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking,” they sing in “No Desert Flower.” I can take more than a little rain/If the going’s tough I will not cower/And all the passing years won’t wash me away.
