Julien Baker Shares Two New Songs: “Tokyo” and “Sucker Punch”

Part of Sub Pop’s Singles Club

Oct 12, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Julien Baker

Singer/songwriter Julien Baker has shared two new songs, “Tokyo” and “Sucker Punch.” Even though she’s officially signed to Matador, the songs are part of the Sub Pop Singles Club, which are 7-inch singles, and the tracks are now available digitally. Listen below.

Baker released her last album, Turn Out the Lights, back in 2017 via Matador, her first for the label. It was our Album of the Week and more importantly it was #2 on our Top 100 Albums of 2017 list.

Earlier this year Baker released another 7-inch single on Record Store Day featuring the new songs “Red Door” and “Conversation Piece.”

Baker also teamed up with fellow singer/songwriters Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers to form supergroup Boygenius, whose self-titled debut EP was released in late October via Matador.
