Ahead of TORRES’ forthcoming album, What an enormous room, released 26th January on Merge Records, Mackenzie Scott has this week returned under her moniker to share the record's latest single Wake To Flowers. Ripping up the rule book and taking us on her own journey through pop, the track's industrial feel of metallic instrumentation and steely vocals cut a new direction for the New York based artist. Of “Wake to flowers,” Scott says: “I’m familiar with the disappointment that frequently follows hope. People are frighteningly resilient. We are regularly optimistic and regularly shattered by the want of something, maybe something that takes all our might and energy and then still doesn’t happen. But have you ever been anxious that things weren’t going to turn out the way you hoped, or maybe you weren’t very optimistic, and then you got everything you wanted? I feel like this happens a lot but I don't hear it acknowledged very much. Everything I have now is something I once fought and longed for—this song is my way of keeping myself aware of that all the time.” The official video is streaming below.
