Torres "Three Futures" LP (2017)

Details: Torres' third album, "Three Futures," released on 4AD Records. New stock, sealed. Gold edition, gatefold.

Description: "The new album from singer-songwriter Mackenzie Scott is her most ambitious work by an order of magnitude. It’s an electric-electronic hybrid that is lush, physical, and full of contradictions."--Philip Sherbourne, Pitchfork

"TORRES is the creative alter-ego of Brooklyn-based Mackenzie Scott. In describing the new album Three Futures, Scott says it “is entirely about using the body that each of us has been given as a mechanism of joy”.  The 10 original tracks on Three Futures embrace ecstasy, desire, and indulgence rather than self-denial, and exude this idea via immersive music.  Mechanized grooves are placed at the forefront, providing a framework for perforated electro-pop static, harsh gothic/industrial textures, and insistent Krautrock motifs.

For Three Futures, Scott reconnected with producer Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey), who worked on TORRES’ last album Sprinter, to record in Stockport and Dorset, England.  David Tolomei (Beach House, Future Islands) mixed the album."--4AD, Torres
