Montreal’s The Barr Brothers have released “Run Right Into It,” a propulsive new single featuring fellow Montrealer Elizabeth Powell of Land of Talk. It’s the second glimpse into their long-awaited fourth album, Let It Hiss, which arrives on October 17th. Inspired by The Raveonettes, the track is a vibrant, kinetic ode to embracing change head-on, showcasing the duo’s renewed creative fire after an eight-year hiatus.

The Barr Brothers announce Let It Hiss, their first album in eight years, arriving October 17th. This isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a profound document of transformation for brothers Brad and Andrew Barr. After individual ventures, Let It Hiss sees them confronting creative and personal struggles head-on, embracing imperfection and honesty to create their most authentic work yet.

Brad Barr’s ‘The Winter Mission’ is a complex recording with densely structured pieces entwined with almost eerie sparseness. It is a carefully considered and intelligent album featuring riches that need to be given plenty of listens and plenty of time. It will certainly reward you.

The Barr Brothers return to the UK this July as part of a wider European summer tour and share a stunning live performance video filmed at their sold-out Union Chapel show earlier this year.
