The Barr Brothers have announced that their new album, Let It Hiss, will be released on October 17 by Secret City Records. Their long-simmering and long-awaited fourth studio album isn’t just a collection of 10 vital new songs; it’s a document of transformation. The result of a pivotal shift: a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between two brothers – Brad and Andrew Barr – who’ve spent their entire lives making music side by side. Let it Hiss as produced by Brad and Andrew, working primarily as a duo out of their Montreal studio, and worked with mix engineer Jon Low (The National, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver). The Barr Brothers will also announce a headlining tour soon, stay tuned for more information.
The album announcement is accompanied by the release of lead single and title track “Let it Hiss”, a propulsive number born out of an extended jam session and featuring jolts of Brad Barr’s virtuosic blown-out guitar and Andrew Barr’s steady groove. Upon hearing a light buzzing in the guitar monitor during playback, the brothers decided to “let it hiss”…a mantra of imperfection that they carried with them throughout the sessions.
