Mackenzie Scott's quiet early music gave hints that she could get loud, but I still wasn't prepared for the ferocity of her new work. Recording as Torres, she spends her new album Sprinter unleashing as-yet-unheard intensity and power, all while performing with incredible prowess.
Sprinter is the album that taught me to love Torres' music: It channels clear influences like Patti Smith and PJ Harvey, while still hinting at further growth. (She's only 24.)
Her band is extraordinary, too. Guitarist Cameron Kapoor provides a perfect level of controlled noise under Scott's alternately melodic and aggressive playing, while Erin Manning contributes haunting harmonies and drummer Dominic Cipolla provides spacious punctuation. All of which made for a perfect storm, right in NPR's offices.
Set List
"New Skin" 00:00

Dear God I love this woman with all of my heart. (And the band too, they're all equally brilliant.)
If you didn't know Torres before .... welcome to amazing. Incredible artist. Musicians are best when they show some blood and anger, I think.
100%
Thank you Tiny Desk for introducing Torres to me. Completely mesmerised and just in time for me to see her on tour in London.
My thought when I heard her singing was, "oh thank god". There are thousands of polished singers who sound almost exactly like someone else. But to be real, takes risk, and a long development of learning to trust yourself to fly. To me, it's what makes someone truly a star, and it's very rare that people go there. Hallelujah we have a live one! The band and music accompany her well, hitting that sweet spot between calm and powerful. Grateful, loving this. This is what I'm talkin about.
Plant Thoughts lol yeah like kids today either sing to imitate auto tune or lazy sing to sound sexy so irritating
Fantastic, beautiful textures and tones, unpretentious music making. Thanks for introducing me NPR
Yes! Been obsessed with her song "A Proper Polish Welcome" ever since you posted her video a few months ago! So good!

That keyboardist is very cute.

Hmm, very interesting this one. Not only Mackenzie, but the whole band. By the way, PJHarvey is cool...!.

coney island lurker Of Course! :)
Sprinter was my first one. I was floored
Re: last song (Harshest Light): does anyone else think Amsterdam is a reference to Camus' novel "The Fall" which also incorporates a tremendous amount of religious concepts?
Al Quinn shut up
@@p11001010 I just choked

Reminds me of Crywank
Lol. Ofc that's a band name
3:30 F*ck me upppppppp
torres - sprinter
then comment..
she mad tho
Ha, love it!
keep playing very good! subscribe!
She, like, sings below her register. My ears are unused to this.
+dashiellv Sharon Van Etten does this occasionally. Torres makes a whole album like this. It might grow on me.
i love both torres and sharon
Not too into their image, but the music is pretty dece. I can appreciate this
Thomas Kittock Just to get back to basics here, its not about the image (that's what I'd love to see happen, anyway.) It is about the Music.
Red Lion I've had this discussion with others on these videos I think, both are powerful tools to spread a message.
Thomas Kittock Well I can appreciate that as well. Image as spreading a message as opposed to corporate conditioned images. That's primarily what went though my head, the corporate condtioning. Elaborate on what you mean and ill let it stew in my brain over the weekend and get back at you.
Thomas Kittock go back to the killers you fashion freak
Backup singer is hot, & Torres on lead
Lol, she can wear the pants--- or not.
actual cave men, these two ^^
This is the worst. These people take themselves too seriously.
THEGlassIED whaaat?
it's just some songs m8
might be talking about the audience
An IED can be Improvised Explosive Device, used usually by terrorists. Or GlassIED could also be phonetically pronounced "glass-eyed," meaning possibly entranced or just stoned. Think a little before you judge someone's net persona.
I know right? People calling themselves GlassIED shouldn't throw stones.
meh. Nothing special here. Maybe even a little below average.
I was waiting for this so bad! Thank youuu
