According to stereogum.com, Earlier this year boygenius announced they had plans to go away for 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, 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.
