Julien Baker Shares Jesu Remix of “Favor”

Little Oblivions Remixes Due Out September 1 on Matador

Aug 24, 2021 By Joey Arnone Photography by Alysse Gafkjen

Julien Baker has shared a Jesu (British musician Justin Broadrick) remix of the song “Favor,” which was originally featured on her most recent album Little Oblivions. The new remix is the latest release from Baker’s upcoming EP, Little Oblivions Remixes, which will be out on September 1 via Matador. Listen to the Jesu remix of “Favor” below.

Broadrick had this to say in a press release: “Having already been a fan of Julien since her first album, it was wonderful to hear that Julien was in turn a fan of Jesu, so the request for the remix, and being able to work Julien’s voice and music in the context of Jesu, was something both daunting and very exciting. I reimagined Julien’s song to accommodate Jesu’s heavy and melancholy guitars and much much more. After much self doubt I was heartened to hear that Julien and all concerned loved the remix. This one I am truly proud of….”

Upon the announcement of Little Oblivions Remixes, Baker shared a rework of “Bloodshot” from electronic artist Helios. The EP will also feature remixes from Half Waif, Gordi, and Thao.

Little Oblivions was released back in February on Matador. Baker’s fall tour in support of the new album will kick off next month.
