Turn Out The Lights

Julien Baker has returned once again to follow up on the surprise success of her debut album with an incredibly impressive sophomore record, Turn Out The Lights. Though the new album only raises the production of the recordings ever so slightly, the results add even more power and intensity to Baker’s brand of raw, stripped down acoustic music. The record is hauntingly beautiful and seems to improve on all of the aspects, which made Baker’s debut, Sprained Ankle, so captivating. (Simon Weedn)
