Barrie - Quarry

Barrie’s sophomore LP Barbara is shaping up to be something special. This week she released her excellent new single "Jenny" off the much anticipated record. But we want to take a moment to backtrack and reminisce on the the single before that, “Quarry,” and call it out for the spectacle of sound that it is. For us, it’s a song that was conceived in this time period, but it doesn’t necessarily belong here. And it’s not just the feel-good track of the year, it’s also layered with heart, substance, and a steadfast intensity that comes on rather quickly at the arrival of the slightly impromptu hook. The sheer goodness of this song is also a testament to Barrie’s natural songwriting abilities. It’s not going to bombard you with sound textures and percussive elements in every nook and cranny of the mix space. Instead, all she needs is a lush synth melody, a sleek guitar hook, and her ever-so-charming vocal presence. We can’t wait to hear Barbara in it’s entirety - out March 25th.
