I am excited to announce that i have signed to the incredible UK indie label Memphis Industries. ‘The Load’ will be the first single, it will be released on April 8th but you can stream and download it from this website. The line of best fit premiered the track and gave it this review: ‘Dark and brooding track with a pop melody that sits just on the right side of the mainstream.’. I will be heading out on tour with Polica in March and Junip in May, all live dates are on the ‘LIVE’ page of this website.

I am playing a FREE show on 8th January at the Shacklewell Arms in Dalston. The FREE night is being put on by the amazing Memphis Industries record label and IT IS FREE

Merry Christmas,

Planet Notion just launched the second Topman CTRL session for new track ‘Pagliaccio’. Here is what they had to say about it:

‘We’ve been going on about our once-BOTW Barbarossa so much here on PlanetNotion, it’s almost as though he’s turning into our new best friend (we premiered his Battles video, offered you the same song in the form of a free download, and even published the artist’s snazzy Moodboard). Our endless raving has been done with perfectly good reason, though, and this Topman CTRL Lock Up Session video is an excellent way for us to prove it: Barbarossa, like his fellow Lock Up Session performer DDark, was invited to unveil his raw talent and musical abilities by temporarily putting himself back in square one – using a limited amount of equipment and performing in a garage-like environment, with nothing but his wonderful talent and sensational voice to back him up.’
