About Julien Baker
Julien Baker is an indie rock artist from Memphis, TN.
Julien Baker played in Memphis punk and emo bands as a teenager. In 2015 she put out Sprained Ankle, a set of hushed songs for guitar and voice that drew attention fast. She signed to Matador, where Turn Out the Lights brought piano and strings into the arrangements.
For Little Oblivions in 2021 she built a full band sound, playing much of it herself, and let the louder passages run longer. Alongside her solo work she is one third of boygenius with Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus.
