BARRIE shares ethereal synth-pop gem “Concrete”

• 2nd Mar 2022

Today Barrie, the musical output of New York-based singer, songwriter and producer Barrie Lindsay, has shared a final pre-release single from her forthcoming second album entitled “Concrete“. Taking its title from Barrie’s formal first name, ‘Barbara’, is to be released on March 25th on CD, LP, Cassette Tape and download via Winspear.

“Concrete” is an ethereal, multifaceted synth-pop track with a heady, dark undertone. “It’s about taking the time and energy to figure out who you are. Learning to take up space and be yourself, unapologetically” explains Barrie. “This process can feel selfish and even sinister, depending on how you are conditioned socially, the final chorus is about finding power and confidence.”

The track is accompanied by a video Barrie made last week whilst in rehearsals for her forthcoming live dates – details below.

‘Barbara’ is an album that heralds a radical transformation: lyrics previously whispered between melodic synths and hazy backbeats now rise to the forefront, telling highly personal tales of love and loss atop intense blends of instrumentation. A deeply personal record written in the wake of her father’s passing and the midst of falling in love with her now wife, Gabby, ‘Barbara’ brings to life Barrie’s inner world with newfound boldness.

Barrie is currently gearing up for 2022 headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco plus Midwest dates with Sunflower Bean, SXSW, and a run of UK record store shows around album release. Full dates below.
