"What an enormous room" is not only the title of the new album by TORRES, it is an incantation, a phrase Mackenzie Scott has had in her head now for several years, for as long as some of the songs found here.
Scott's undeniable skill as a guitar player is still the engine driving her songs, but the album explores new territory for TORRES that Scott attributes to recording with her friend Sarah Jaffe, the Texan singer-songwriter whose inclination to break genre boundaries has led her to collaborate with Eminem and producer Symbolyc One. "
Jaffe provides the album's rhythm section, playing bass and drums, and the easiness of her collaboration with Scott made it possible for songs like "Jerk into joy" to emerge - like the incantation central to it, and the album itself - after years in Scott's head in a way that is simultaneously more direct and more sonically ambitious than any TORRES record to date.
"What an enormous room" contains wry, Laurie Anderson-esque art rock, Nirvana's rage, and ABBA’s strut. Rather than fear the unknown space she occupies, Mackenzie Scott has chosen to fill it with as much of herself as possible, an artist unwilling to be stifled.
