TORRES just continues to release music that keeps getting better and better. The musical project of Mackenzie Scott just released "Wake to flowers," which might be her weirdest and maybe her most accessible song to date. This new song is pure art. It's kind of an experimental electronic song with some gnarly feedback behind the whole thing. But "Wake to flowers" has a strong pop appeal to it despite the unique sound and noise base. It's weird, because the song should only appeal to a select few who typically look for music that pushes boundaries, but when I hear this one, it just sounds like the kind of song that could unexpectedly appeal to a wider range of listeners.
Mackenzie Scott says of her new single:
“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.”
