Honey by Torres

Neatly sidestepping the obvious here soccer fans, this track from Nashville’s Torres, aka 22-year-old Mackenzie Scott, has been working its way through the blogs like fellow Tennesseans Kings of Leon through a remote girl’s public school dorm. Justifiably so: It is, as one Youtube user emphatically states, ‘absolutely devastating’, a shining advert for the virtues of the me ‘n’ my guitar ethos; PJ Harvey at her bluesy rawest before she adopted the persona of a disgruntled May Queen – with added gospel introspection.

Torres’ self-titled, self-released debut is out January 22. Pre-order here.
