\n\tJulien Baker<\/a> and TORRES<\/a> are officially teaming up for a full-length collaborative album, Send a Prayer My Way<\/em>, due April 18 via Matador Records. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement comes just a month after the duo debuted their first single, \u201cSugar in the Tank<\/a>,\u201d and now, they\u2019ve dropped another track, \u201cSylvia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project has been years in the making, with its roots tracing back to 2016 when Baker and TORRES first played a show together. That night, the idea of making a country album was casually thrown out. Nearly a decade later, that passing comment has turned into a full-fledged record. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 11-track album fuses classic country storytelling with reflections on modern struggles, navigating themes of love, loss, and life on the road.<\/p>\n

\n\tTheir latest single, \u201cSylvia,\u201d carries personal weight for TORRES, who wrote the song about adopting her dog. In a statement, she recalled the moment that inspired the track: \u201cThe morning I went to pick up my dog Sylvia from an upstate shelter, I was at home making my coffee and I turned on WFMU and Dolly Parton\u2019s \u2018Cracker Jack\u2019 was on. I burst into tears\u2014it felt like the universe was telling me she was going to be mine.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cI remember thinking that I\u2019d love to write a song like that. A song that people could feel in their chest within five seconds of turning on the radio, because anyone who has ever had the honor of sharing a home with a beloved pet knows that a pet is family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with the album announcement, Baker and TORRES have confirmed a string of festival dates to support Send a Prayer My Way<\/em>, including appearances at Big Ears in Tennessee, High Water Music Festival in North Carolina, and Green River Festival in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

\n\tBaker has previously found success as a member of boygenius alongside Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus. The trio\u2019s debut full-length album, the record<\/em>, landed at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in 2023, while Baker\u2019s solo album Little Oblivions<\/em> peaked at No. 39. TORRES, known for her sharp, introspective songwriting, has built a loyal following with critically acclaimed releases like Thirstier<\/em> and Three Futures.<\/em> With Send a Prayer My Way<\/em>, the duo merges their strengths for an album that blends nostalgia with modern-day reflections.<\/p>\n
