Florida-born songwriter's 10 new tracks "for post-plague celebration"
Always a moving target stylistically, Broadway musical and Fleetwood Mac fan Mackenzie Scott (AKA Torres) has previously tapped into folk, industrial rock, Krautrock and electronica among other genres.
More electric guitar-leaning than last year’s Silver Tongue, album five continues to shape-shift while cranking up the bombast and ambition. Hence Don’t Go Puttin’ Wishes In My Head, a bravura festival anthemin-waiting up there with Sharon Van Etten’s Seventeen, and the title track’s hefty, passionate chorus, which seems to fall from the sky.
Such commercial flashes are tempered with delicious
curveballs like Kiss The Corners, a spare beat-box confection with deft and beguiling
vocals, and the confessional, quietly mesmerizing Big Leap. Billed as an
intense study of love “from all angles" – romantic, platonic, familiar etc. – Thirstier comes on like a bold, heady
catharsis.
