Sprinter

"Sprinter" is the second full length studio album by American singer, songwriter, Torres, released May 5, 2015 on the Partisan Records label. Sprinter has received generally favorable reviews from several mainstream critic websites. Metacritic, which assigns an average score based on various professional ratings, gave the album an 81/100, based on 18 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim." "From the grungy guitars of Strange Hellos to the bouncy, electronic brilliance of Cowboy Guilt, Mackenzie Scott’s second album under her moniker Torres is an astonishing, unpredictable record. The climax of final track The Exchange, with its unsettling refrain “Mother, Father, I’m under water”, sung hauntingly quietly, summarises the melancholy of several tracks (“I’ve got the sadness too,” she sings on Ferris Wheel). The 24-year-old Nashville songwriter relays this sadness beautifully, without veering into the confessionalism of some of her contemporaries. Sprinter combines the raw energy of Torres’s 90s forebears with modern minimalism; the result is captivating." The guardian.com
