“Darjeeling” Barrie

"Darjeeling" by Barrie

Barrie have shared their new single a “Darjeeling”. The track is taken from their forthcoming debut album Happy To Be Here, due for release on May 3rd via Winspear. Ahead of the album’s release, the band are playing a run of European and North American dates.

At the core of Barrie is an amalgamation of various cultures; an integral characteristic tying all tracks on their debut album together. The video for the second single to be shared from the album, “Darjeeling”, was directed and produced by Zach Stone and Madeline Leshner and acts as a cinematic representation for how the group came together.

Barrie Lindsay on “Darjeeling”;

“The opening line of the song – “the city towed my car the first night I got in” – is true; my car got towed when I first moved to New York. The first night I hung out with Spurge and Noah, we went to this warehouse party in Bushwick on the train tracks, which was totally new to me. My car was in Manhattan, and when I went back to find it at 3 am it was gone. So I walked along the West Side highway to the impound lot. At 4 am it was this eerie wasteland of abandoned cars. It was in the honeymoon phase of moving to New York and I remember feeling very happy and surreal in the tow lot. I’ve had a lot of experiences like that in the city, and I think I had that feeling in mind with this song — it’s kind of a collection of those vignettes.”
