Julien Baker Covers “One Of Us” For $50, Says New Album Out In October
Earlier this week, Julien Baker announced an extensive new tour, a move that typically indicates that a fresh album is ready to go, and during a show in Melbourne last night, Baker confirmed that’s the case. According to a Redditor, Baker said that her sophomore album will be out in October — it’s her Matador debut. Also, amusingly, she covered Joan Osborne’s “(What if God Was} One Of Us” because someone in the audience bet her $50 to do it. Get that money! (It’s unclear if she actually got that money.) Here’s some video:

Baker wisely consulted Twitter before committing to the cover:
