What is there to mine, as a songwriter, when you’ve gotten everything you ever wanted? That’s been a central occupation of Mackenzie Scott, who performs as Torres, since her 2020 album Silver Tongue. The struggle to settle into settling down comes to the forefront on her latest record, What an Enormous Room. She approaches self-reflection with cautious optimism, the mark of someone who knows who they can fall back on when times inevitably get tough. “The dread doesn’t pay any rent money,” she observes on “I got the fear.” “But as long as it doesn’t get ahold of my honey/Think I’ll be alright.”
As she’s entered her thirties, Scott has taken on a second creative life as the muse and subject of her partner, the painter Jenna Gribbon, who she married in 2022. Gribbon, whose portraits of Scott graced the covers of Silver Tongue and 2021’s Thirstier, often depicts her in scenes of domestic bliss mid-action: pulling on a robe, reading a book while slouched on a camping chair, flipping channels on the TV with no pants on. That same desire to find beauty in banality—a collection of mundane moments that build up to the larger picture—permeates the songs on What an Enormous Room. Between “months of Sundays” and morning coffee, Scott can perceive loneliness, grief, and anxiety all lurking in the wings, but none of them feel quite as vivid as “the way you hold me way too tight when we sleep.”
From the glitching marching-band rhythm on Sprinter’s “Cowboy Guilt” to the lopsided ’80s pop-rock of Thirstier’s “Don’t Go Puttin Wishes in My Head,” Scott has excelled at adding a jagged, oddball edge to familiar rock structures. At its best, this album pushes further into the weird. “Life as we don’t know it,” describing a near-death experience where Scott and her stepson almost drowned, features a descending keyboard line reminiscent of the B-52’s, or a “game over” sound effect—a darkly funny representation of getting pulled underwater. (The evocative flair extends to one of Scott’s best lines to date: “Each time I looked for God, I drank a wave down every time.”) Forceful lead single “Collect” is classic Torres, pairing fuzzed-out guitar with a steadfast beat that commands attention, while opener “Happy man’s shoes” adds groovy bass and sparkling effects that turn menace into triumph. “I do not accept your shame,” Scott sings, determined as ever, now setting her sights on comfort and self-love rather than revenge.
