Julien Baker: Turn Out The Lights Vinyl LP

Julien Bakeris older and her world is much bigger(sonically and personally) than onSprained Ankle, her debut album recorded in just a few days in 2015. ButTurn Out The Lightsis still an enormous achievement for a 21 year old. Over 11 raw, earnest confessionals, her vocals are loud and clear in the mix, flanked by twinkling piano, swelling stringsand of course,Baker’s resonating guitar licks. Written and produced by Baker in 2017, with string arrangements byCamille Faulknerand woodwinds on “Over” and “Appointments” byCameron BoucherofSorority Noise.
