Torres playing the Empty Bottle, released her debut LP
Torres is the acting moniker for young Nashville-based gem Mackenzie Scott. Scott's output is raw and confessional-- ala Sharon Van Etten, early Liz Phair, Rilo Kiley-- and her debut self-titled LP as Torres is nothing short of heart-wrenching. Scott pulls at the strings with lines like "Do you ever make it halfway down and think 'god, I never meant to jump at all'" and "Honey, while you were ashing in your coffee, I was thinking about telling you what you've done to me." The latter of those two lines is from a tune called "Honey," which you can take a listen to at the bottom of this post along with the album opener "Mother Earth, Father God."
Torres has a small number of U.S. dates coming up this month. We're happy to say that one of those dates is a performance at the Empty Bottle on February 20 with Strange Names, Carroll, and Jordan Gatesmith. The show is FREE with RSVP, and advance tickets are also available.
