BARRIE share Best Coast-inspired new single "Geology" ahead of debut UK shows this week & album release on May 3rdOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Stereo Sanctity BARRIE Barrie kick off their first ever European tour in Bristol tomorrow, ahead of the release of their debut album of exquisite summery pop, 'Happy To Be Here' next Friday, May 3rd via Winspear. Yesterday they celebrated Earth Day by sharing the fourth and final pre-release single from the record, the laid-back, shimmering "Geology". Speaking on the track, the band's frontwoman Barrie Lindsay commented: "I wrote this song in 2015, a few months after I bought my first guitar. I was listening to Best Coast on Song Exploder talking about Feeling Ok. Bethany Cosentino said she was inspired by 90s movies soundtracks like Clueless, She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate About You. It blew my mind because I loved that music but didn’t realize you could take it seriously. That’s where Geology came from." Listen to "Geology": https:// Barrie European live dates: At the core of Barrie is an amalgamation of various cultures; an integral characteristic tying all tracks on their debut album together. The group is a Brooklyn five-piece made of Barrie Lindsay, Dominic Apa, Spurge Carter, Sabine Holler and Noah Prebish. On their debut LP ‘Happy To Be Here’, their multidimensional take on classic pop sounds awake and present, like a group that’s daydreaming but firmly there with one another. ‘Happy To Be Here’ offers snapshots of the band coming together in the city, after having lived all over: Boston, Baltimore, upstate New York, London, São Paulo via Berlin. “The scaffolding of this album is moving to New York and finding these people that make up the band,” Barrie says. “We’re very different, but we cover each other’s gaps personally and creatively, and are eager to learn from each other.” ‘Happy To Be Here’ will be released on May 3rd via Winspear.
