Julien Baker Instagram – @julienrbaker and I have spent half of a decade making this record and we finally get to share it with you. Our album, Send A Prayer My Way, comes out April 18 on @matadorrecords, and you can listen to our new single, “Sylvia” today.
The morning I went to pick up Sylvia from an upstate shelter, I was at home making my coffee and I turned on WFMU and Dolly Parton’s “Cracker Jack” was on. I burst into tears—it felt like the universe was telling me she was going to be mine (Sylvia was only meant to be a foster). I remember thinking that I’d love to write a song like that, a song that people could feel in their chest within five seconds of turning on the radio, because anyone who has ever had the honor of sharing a home with a beloved pet knows that a pet is family—they’re the best friends you could ever have.
