Two of music’s most iconic young songwriters Julien Baker (boygenius) & TORRES have released their highly anticipated debut collaborative album, Send a Prayer My Way, via Matador Records on Friday.
Send A Prayer My Way has been taking shape since Baker and TORRES shared a stage for the first time in 2016. After the show, one turned to the other and said, “You know, we should make a country album.” That offhand comment became the spark—a kind of origin myth—for a collaboration rooted in mutual respect and a shared commitment to honest, elegant songwriting. Both artists are known for laying bare their struggles in ways that resonate deeply with fans, and this album is no exception. Like the most enduring country records, Send A Prayer My Way offers both solace and strength, a reminder that none of us are ever truly alone—and that music can be one of life’s most loyal companions.
The duo have officially released a video for “Bottom of a Bottle” which embodies the duo’s love of 90s country and Americana with fiddles, parlor piano, steel guitars and a soaring chorus. Baker and TORRES debuted the song with a performance on The Daily Show.
