The Barr Brothers are preparing for their July tour of Europe with a live video for Defibrillation.
Taken from the band’s 2017 album Queens Of The Breakers, it was recorded at their Union Chapel show in London earlier this year.
“Before we get into the details, it’s worth pointing out just how well this record hangs together as a whole,” our review opened. “It’s loaded with standout tracks, so it’d be easy to miss that, more than anything, it’s a good old fashioned ‘album’ in all its glory. It has a look, feel and sound all its own. Queens Of The Breakers has been crafted from beginning to end.”
“Throughout there are hints, suggestions and flavours of so many things. Moments that bring to mind everything from Canyon’s Other Shore to 16 Horsepower’s Cinder Alley, or Springsteen’s Nebraska, Fleet Foxes’ Mykonos and even Dixie Chicken-era Little Feat. It’s an astonishing melting pot of ideas all boiled down to their essence. What’s left is a rich, heady mix of harmonies and lyricism.”
The tour starts in Cambridge on July 14th and has more UK dates booked in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Salisbury.
