Torres, opus 4

Torres, nome artístico de Mackenzie Scott (nascida em Orlando, Florida, há 29 anos), é uma artista de muitas referências e nenhum rótulo. O seu rock tem uma marca indie que não o afasta de alguma memória folk, tudo filtrado por uma pudica metodologia confessional. Assim acontece no seu quarto álbum, Silver Tongue, mais de dois anos passados sobre o anterior Three Futures. Exemplo: a canção Dressing America, filmada pela habitual colaboradora Ashley Connor.

I know you like to keep us wondering
I know that you feel every eye on you
In any given room

You're always telling me
"I don't know who you are"
Come on, woman

I tend to sleep with my boots on
