TORRES, a singer-songwriter based in New York (via Nashville), returns to Seattle on Tuesday, October 10th. Last here in July for Capitol Hill Block Party, TORRES is celebrating the recent release of her third album, Three Futures. Real name Mackenzie Scott, TORRES has a cool, frequently low register voice that gets awesomely respectful treatment in recordings. And live? I’d expect it to be a revelation. She’s smartly worked with producer Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey!) twice (sharing producing responsibilities on Three Futures), and check out her videos too, including the sexy, sexy, sexy “Skim.” She’s made a number of those, such as “Skim” and the number below, “Helen In The Woods,” with director Ashley Connor. Enjoy those majorly! TORRES will also have in-store appearance at 1 PM at Light in the Attic Records on October 10th.

Music: Dim Sum’s “Stay”

Band: Dim Sum
Song: “Stay”
Why You Want to Listen: Dim Sum, a producer and electronic musician from France, has remixed songs by Foster the People and Odesza. And others! He does his own thing as well, including (I think I am right on this) three EPs. His second single off Right Track makes my day.

Memory Lane Series lucky number 12 features Jonathan Leung’s photos from Nick Waterhouse’s show at Neumos in 2016. A rhythm and blues musician, Waterhouse’s newest album, Never Twice, includes a track with Leon Bridges. The album is also the first Waterhouse album not self-produced. Instead, production duties went to Michael McHugh (Black Lips,Ty Segall). Seattle’s Acapulco Lips celebrated in style by touring Europe this summer, with loads of dates in France.

In a stripped down acoustic set, Megs McLean opened for Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan at a stop during their Grits & Glamour tour, at the Tulalip Casino north of Seattle. Backed by Ilya Ignatov on guitar, the local country artist treated the 1000+ member audience to songs from her Out Of School EP plus several new ones that the crowd were the first ones to hear.
