Torres

Torres the debut album from 22-year-old Nashville native Mackenzie Scott, has a deceptively charming back story. Scott's family pooled their money together to buy the Gibson guitar that is heard on the album. It was recorded live to tape over the course of five days in the home of a Louisiana songwriter. The album is a raw and gripping exploration of our most basic human emotions. On the album there are hints of Chan Marshall's raw recording style and emotional delivery, Joanna Newsom's lilting flourishes, Alela Diane's powerful and seductive vocal tone, and Julie Doiron's juxtaposition of acoustic and electric sounds.
