Julien Baker has shared a new single featuring her Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers.
Favor is the latest preview of her new album, 'Little Oblivions', which is slated for release on February 26. It follows previous cuts Hardline and Faith Healer. Dacus said:
“We sang on Favor in Nashville the same day we recorded vocals for Graceland Too and a song of mine. That day had the same atmosphere as when we recorded the boygenius EP. Making music was just a natural result of being together, easy as can be but also rare in a way that feels irreplicable. I love the song for its stark but sensitive picture of friendship, what it looks like to recover from broken trust. Makes me think about how truth only ever breaks what should be broken, and how love is never one of those things. I’m always honored to be brought into Julien’s life and music.”
Bridgers added: “Julien is one of those people whose opinion you want to hear about everything. A true critical thinker with an ever-changing and ridiculously articulate worldview. Her music changes in the same way, and this record is my favorite thing she’s ever done. I’m sure I’ll think the same about the next one.”
The track is a tender and enchanting indie-rock offering. Play the lyric video below.
