ALBUM OF THE WEEK : TORRES - SPRINTER

ARTIST : TORRES

ALBUM : SPRINTER

LABEL : PARTISAN RECORDS

This week sees the release of 'Sprinter', the 2nd album from Brooklyn's Torres (aka Mackenzie Scott). We rated her first album so much that we made it our top album of 2013, so we're expecting big things from this new record which is released through Partisan Records.

Has she delivered? Of course she has! The new album is bolder, louder, and delivered with such a confidence that belies her 23 years of age. Testament to her clear talents is that 'Sprinter' was recorded over this side of the pond at Portishead's Adrian Utley's studio in Bristol. That's a pretty big deal.

There's 9 tracks coming in at over 45 minutes so that gives you an indication that the songs have time and space to breath and envelope you, with much to be had on repeated listens. The album is heavy and tender in equal measure, basically Torres has yet again wowed us!
