TORRES knows the darkness. The Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter otherwise known as Mackenzie Scott waits until anything – an idea, an emotion, a memory – gnaws at her, tearing at her fingers and throat until she releases it in song. Her husky voice strains against its human biological constraints like a wild-eyed horse, whispering desperately “Don’t give up on me just yet” on one end and yowling about jealousy with unnerving intensity on the other.

Following her self-titled debut in 2013, TORRES pushes herself to even noisier extremes on ‘Sprinter’, a punishing self-examination of epic spiritual and musical proportions.

180g audiophile vinyl LP packaged in printed sleeve featuring lyrics and MP3 download.

Playing Primavera Sound in May, London, Paris and Berlin in June and in September End Of The Road Festival plus a UK / EU headline tour.

Tipped by no other than Sharon van Etten as one of the artists to break through in 2015.
