Check out the full interview here.
In April of 2018, Mackenzie Scott, who makes boundary-pushing pop music as Torres, announced to the world that she had been dropped from her label."My former label, @4AD_Official, has decided to drop me from a 3 album deal for not being commercially successful enough," she tweeted."I wish them all the best. Also, fuck the music industry."
She also fell in love. And it is this burning whirlwind of a love story that's the focus of her first album since 2018, Silver Tongue. Releasing on Merge Records on Friday, the nine-track project is a fierce homecoming for Scott, her crystalline vocals near gleaming in the light, until a closer inspection reveals a surface pricked with barbed wire and knots.
I just think that whenever you have this career that you can really expend all your energy on and put all your focus on, it makes it easy to not really evolve. I mean, it makes it easy to not think about how you are existing as a person in the world. It makes it easy to not know how to take care of yourself whenever you come home from tour. It makes it really easy to not be a good partner for someone, because you're sort of on this other planet, in a way.
That was most of it, yeah. I don't want to make it seem like I'm anti-co-producing or whatever, but that was a huge part of it. I just wanted to control everything. But the other part of it was that it's really expensive to hire a producer, and it just felt like I already knew what I wanted everything to sound like.
The thing about someone who has a silver tongue is usually that person knows that they do. It's someone who obviously, for better, for worse, has the power of manipulation, and people should be really careful about how they use that power if they know that they have it. So essentially, this album is all about trying to get what I want without doing it in an evil way.
