Julien Baker 'Sprained Ankle' LP + 7"
Memphis, TN-based songwriter Julien Baker is the latest addition to the Matador Records roster. The 21-year-old’s devastating and vulnerable debut album, Sprained Ankle, which was originally released in 2015.
Included is a 7" of previously unreleased tracks. A side is “Funeral Pyre". Only Baker can make a song with such a darkly macabre title so heartbreakingly gorgeous, with her signature hushed-yet-lofty vocals soaring over a quietly fingerpicked melody that crescendos into layered, almost-orchestral beauty. The B-side, “Distant Solar System”, is another unheard song from the Sprained Ankle sessions.
