Once again we’ve missed the boat. But we’re all better now. We’ve finally caught the Julien Baker<\/a><\/strong> bug going around and are loving her symptoms. Baker<\/strong> just turned 20 years-old and is a singer-songwriter from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. \u00a0She recorded her haunting debut album, Sprained Ankle<\/strong><\/em>, at Matthew E. White\u2019s Spacebomb<\/strong>\u00a0space in Richmond. \u00a0Check out below the official video for the album’s title track. \u00a0We love the spare, affecting lyrics (see below) and desolated visuals to match. \u00a0Add spare guitar harmonics to the beginning, and we are all in. \u00a0So much of it reminds us of Sharon Van Etten<\/strong>, which is highest praise in our book. \u00a0No wonder Van Etten<\/strong> has been singing Baker’s praise. \u00a0The apple doesn’t fall very far from her tree.<\/p>\n
