Julien Baker and TORRES have shared the video for ‘Sugar In The Tank’.

Julian Baker achieved a breakout moment with 2017’s Matador debut ‘Turn Out The Lights’, before taking her role as one-third of superstar outing boygenius.

Completing the group’s emphatic world tour, Julien Baker then linked with TORRES for something new. Aired on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, new single ‘Sugar In The Tank’ is a dulcet piece of pop-edged Americana.

Out now via Matador, the video was directed by Caity Arthur and it was shot in collaboration with the queer country dance party Stud Country. 

The video boasts original choreography by Stud Country’s co-founder Sean Monaghan and star members of the Stud Country community.

“We were so excited to cast people from our community including Geo [Jedlicka] who has been dancing in NYC for three decades. Having established artists like Julien and TORRES, who’ve actually been to our events, collaborate with us during this country revival is incredible,” says Monaghan.

Jae Cripe, Stud Country regular and DJ, says: “It’s been very healing for me as a trans person who was raised in the South to reconnect with this part of myself in a place that feels safe, supportive, and also happens to be full of very hot and nice queer people.”

Julien Baker and TORRES are overwhelmed by the results, commenting: “We were really honored that the Stud Country folks were willing to have fun with us and prepare this line dance for the song! Everyone involved is so talented and they were patient and sweet with us while we learned the moves. For us it’s particularly special to find someplace and some people to do cowboy shit with here in NYC.”
