Taylor Swift Producer Aaron Dessner Says ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Is ‘Most Lyrically Acute, Intricate, Vulnerable’ Taylor Ever


Taylor Swift producer Aaron Dessner says singer's sprawling 'Tortured Poets Department' is 'most lyrically acute, intricate, vulnerable' album yet.

But it was frequent collaborator Aaron Dessner of The National who provided one of the biggest reveals about the roiling, emotional collection in an Instagram post just hours after the album dropped. The multi-talented songwriter/producer/composer also thanked his twin brother and fellow National bandmember, Aaron Dessner, engineers Laura Sisk, Jonathan Low, James McAlister, Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman) and Bella Blasko and musicians Glenn Kotche (Wilco drummer), Benjamin Lanz (synths, trombone) and Rob Moose (viola, violin), among many others. “It’s not lost on me how lucky I am that this is my job and I feel so grateful to be a part of creating this vast, magically detailed and symbolic world of songs Taylor has crafted that we all get to inhabit and enjoy,” Dessner wrote.
