According to stereogum.com, Earlier this year boygenius announced they had plans to go away for a while so that all three members could return to their solo projects. Over the past few months Julien Baker has popped up as a guesting on Thomas Powers’s “Empty Voices,” playing at an MLS game in Nashville and singing with the National Symphony Orchestra. Now, Baker has contributed to a theme song for a new TV show.
On June 23 AMC aired the premiere of Orphan Black: Echoes, which is sort of a sequel to the sci fi series Orphan Black. The new show stars Krysten Ritter and Keely Hawes and the show got its theme song from Baker and Calvin Lauber, a recording engineer who has been working with Baker since her debut album Sprained Ankle. The song is titled “The Lengths” is an expansive ballad with lots of piano and a few glitchy keyboards. The track artfully layers Baker’s voice and it has the most catchy Radiohead vibe as well.
