This Barr, not to be confused with the American band Barr, plays quite the relaxing psych-folk with amazing vocal harmonies reminscent of Crosby, Stills & Nash. At four songs, it's easy to recommend listening to the whole lot, as it's sa ixteen minutes long breeze-by like the afternoon bottle of wine you enjoy on the porch. With a light, airy feel that would fit in between José González and the Kings Of Convenience, Barr is surely to become more well-known, and I can only hope to hear a full-length by them before the summer's out (specificially August), as it could make the appropriate closing to anyone's summer.

Weeping Willows have finished recording 15 new songs for their next album! The band says it's a more laidback album with music that is "a nod to their earlier days when the music was more influenced by the 60's." To which I say: awesome. Not that I don't like the band's later material (I do), it's pretty well known that their first two albums are easily their best. Anyhow, the record was recorded in Stockholm with Andy Bell of Oasis and is currently being mixed together with Sigge Krantz. Keyboardist Martin Hederos of The Soundtrack Of Our Lives plays on some of the songs and Patrik Andersson of Barr contributes guest vocals on two tracks. Assuming all goes well, expect a December release.
