Julien Baker - Sprained Ankle (2016)

Sprained Ankle is the debut album of American singer-songwriter Julien Baker, originally released on her Bandcamp page in 2014 and re-released a year later on 23 October, 2015 by the label 6131 Records. Julien wrote the songs on the album while she was studying at Middle Tennessee State University. She shared them with a few friends but never intended to release them to the public. One such friend, Michael Hegner, had free time at Tennessee State’s recording studio and offered to record Julien’s songs. He liked the demos and urged her to continue writing music. In the summer of 2014, Hegner and Julien took a road trip to Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, Virginia, where Hegner was interning, to record what was to become the finished album. In an interview with The Blue Indian, Julien said that the album “was recorded really sparsely and efficiently to get the most out of the time there, which contributed to the way the songs come across.” The album is not a typical “singer-songwriter” venture, but a gospel record, a record made up of praise songs. Baker’s Christian beliefs are layered within every track, a backdrop for, and a refuge against, her despair, loneliness, and addiction. Здесь вы можете слушать онлайн mp3 бесплатно и без регистрации.
