Videos by American Songwriter
Mackenzie Scott, known by her stage name TORRES, just announced her third album, Three Futures. Out September 29, the album is the Brooklyn-based artist’s first release for 4AD. Three Futures is the follow-up to Scott’s critically acclaimed breakout sophomore album Sprinter.
Scott recruited producer Rob Ellis for Three Futures, having already worked with the PJ Harvey collaborator on Sprinter. To coincide with the album announcement, she shared the album’s title track — a slow-grooving meditation on a failed relationship — and an accompanying video directed by Ashley Connor in which Scott portrays three different characters.
Earlier this spring, Scott shared a video for the album’s first single, “Skim,” which American Songwriter described as “a hypnotic slow-burn that chugs along with a Depeche Mode groove, spiked with gutsy guitar, psychosexual themes and a dash of religious imagery.” Connor also directed that track’s video.
Check out the video for “Three Futures,” the album’s track list, and Scott’s upcoming tour dates below.
