Three tracks from the splendid new Barr Brothers album Queen of the Breakers, (their third in all), which came out last Friday. It's Rough Trade Record of the Week which is always a fairly sure sign of quality as the people there know about these things.
Hailing from Quebec and not all brothers, they're evocative songwriters and musicians, their songs giving off something of the feel of those great records of the eighties of bands like the Go Betweens, The Triffids, and The Blue Nile with an occasional nod to classic Simon & Garfunkel. They have a knack for atmosphere. It's a Monday morning and I'm obliged to head back to work but listening to this as I prepare to do so makes me feel OK about that state of affairs.
