Barrie – “Quarry”

Barrie – “Quarry”

Barrie has clearly been building toward a new album announcement for months, and today the moment has come. After dropping “Dig” and “Frankie” in the fall, Barrie Lindsay is back with news of the follow-up to 2019’s Happy To Be Here. It’s called Barbara, and it’s dropping at the end of March.

Along with news of Barbara comes a third single, “Quarry,” and its music video. The track is an ’80s-leaning power ballad, defined by synths both dreamy and molasses-thick, accented with guitars that pierce through the mirage. It’s a love song about what it feels like to be fully seen, and it’s matched with a VHS-style music video by Robert Kolodny that culminates with an intimate double-haircut situation in the kitchen at a party. Watch below.

And here’s a statement from Lindsay about the new LP:
