New Music from The Barr Brothers

“Half Crazy” is the bluesy, electric single from The Barr Brothers upcoming album, Sleeping Operator, set to be released this fall. The Montreal quartet, made up of Barr brothers Andrew and Brad Barr, Sarah Page, and Andrew Vial, has long pushed the envelope, extending genres to create a relentlessly powerful and fresh sound. The single from their upcoming release certainly is no exception. A raw, off-kilter blues jam, “Half Crazy” embodies the immense creative energy of The Barr Brothers.

Brad Barr says of the track, “This song, ‘Half Crazy,’ could be described as the tenacious offspring of the North African desert music of Mali/Morocco and the sweat and electricity of the Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues. That music is like a stem cell, really open to going in many directions.”

“A stone cold groove with a menacing edge, The Barr Brothers add the plummeting temperatures of Montreal to the Americana stew.
