The Winter Mission, Brad Barr

Since The Last Apartment, which brought to light its bachelor pad instrumental, 14 years ago. A life. Lives. The Barr Brothers have chained the seasons, multiplied the tours, explored, enriched, let their lush garden grow according to the arrangements of harmonies and instruments. Brad, with the trio The Slip, has found a playground to his excess. However, he did not stop searching on his own: the pandemic, as for many, allowed him to carry out his research very far, to a form of completion. Thus we obtain this second solo album, where the mission consists in transposing, with guitars, the indescribable: numbers, colors, magic, prayer, as well as the mystical miracle of… baseball. Yes, all that: twelve pieces where pure beauty, extreme dissonance, cross-references (The Color of Nine mixes stairway to Heaven and classical arpeggios), basic blues and psychedelia come together and collide. An entire program.
