While the songs are described as brutal in emotional suggestion, it’s Faraone’s disarming confessional tones and the overall, cumulative lo-fi and often shimmering folk beauty that draws you in and keeps you in its arms.
Watch the video premiere from Stockholm-based trio Barbarisms for ‘Heaviest Breather’, their new single and opening track from their latest album Browser. They play a Rough Trade East instore this Wednesday 29th June.
On Browser Faraone and his Nordic sidekicks come at a venerable genre from an entirely different angle, and give it a welcome shake-up, while never sacrificing deft songcraft and dextrous lyricism.
