In a Julien Baker song, there’s often no instrumentation beyond the desolate tremble of an electric guitar or a gentle tap on the piano. That’s all the Tennessee songwriter needs—because her arresting vocals can do the rest. After rising up with the noise-pop band Forrister, Baker emerged as one of indie rock’s most vital voices with her 2017 solo breakthrough, Turn Out the Lights, which showcased her uncanny ability to make intimate addresses feel like widescreen statements. But while she thrives in solitary settings, she’s equally at home harmonising with Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus in the jangle-pop trio boygenius.
