Baker’s new single, “Funeral Pyre” – as haunting and beautiful as any of her previous releases – can be heard here. The B-side, “Distant Solar System,” is another unheard song from the Sprained Ankle sessions.
2015’s Sprained Ankle earned Baker scores of praise and sent her on several national and international tours. The 21-year-old is back on the road again this winter and spring with several dates in the midwest and Europe. See a full list of tour dates below.
