TORRES (aka MacKenzie Scott) has announced a new album, What an enormous room, and shared its first single, “Collect,” via a music video. She has also announced some new tour dates. What an enormous room is due out January 24, 2024 via Merge. Dani Okon directed the “Collect” video. Watch it below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as TORRES’ upcoming tour dates.

“This song is about justice being served. The rage song I’ve been trying to write for years!” says Scott of “Collect” in a press release.

Scott produced the album with Sarah Jaffe, recording it last fall at Durham, North Carolina’s Stadium Heights Sound. Ryan Pickett engineered the album, which was mixed overseas in Bristol by TJ Allen, and mastered by Heba Kadry.

Julien Baker wrote the album’s bio and had this to say: “What I can say about TORRES is I think the music comes from a convicted place…. And I think it’s just incredibly good music to listen to.”

TORRES’ last album, Thirstier, came out in 2021 via Merge.
