Her current main squeeze is this Fender American Vintage '72 Telecaster Thinline. She's still in the Fender family, but she remembers 2016 as the year she first flirted with the Telecaster, and she hasn't since looked back. When Torres first hit PG's radar back in 2015, she was predominately raging onstage with a new-ish stock Fender Jazzmaster. Before soundcheck Scott introduced PG to her Tele companions, explained why she'd rather play with bloody fingers than use a pick, and showed how seven stomps cover all the shades of traditional rock guitar and much more. Out in support of her new album, Torres' October 14 Nashville show had her headlining the Exit/In. There's still some 6-string fire.) And now Thirstier is a concise blast of catchy, power pop numbers that are heavier and shinier. Last year's self-produced Silver Tongue twisted the previous albums' makeup into an unusual two-step that often made the guitars pretty and the synths wicked. And 2017's Three Futures stripped back the guitar barrage for an electronic bent, centered around stark beats and cold synths. Sprinter, from 2015, was angsty, urgent, and erratic. Those divergent personalities and approaches result in singular musical snapshots rather than a predictable path through each performance, song, and album. And when it comes time to play big power chords, honestly, I just make my fingers bleed," she says. I like playing really crunchy, loud, aggressive stuff in the styling of a classical player. Even her playing style is at odds with itself.
