The Barr Brothers Unveil First Music Video From Just-Released New Album 'Queens Of The Breakers'
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, The Barr Brothers released the first music video from their celebrated new album 'Queens of the Breakers' (out now/Secret City Records). The video pairs the rollicking, burning blues of "It Came to Me" with visuals to match: a careening, down-and-dirty lawnmower race straight from the far reaches of Canada.

The video was captured at a hundred-year-old agricultural fair in Shigawake, Quebec (pop. 300). Though it's 12 hours outside of Montreal, thousands of people flock to the fair every year. Many come for a newer addition, a music festival that's been organized for the past nine years by Meghan Clinton, the wife of drummer Andrew Barr, who is from the remote town herself. The Barr Brothers have performed at the music festival and this year decided to bring a videographer along, who captured some of the footage with a Super 8. The lawnmower mud-racing event shown in the video is a perfect complement to the down-and-dirty sound of 'It Came to Me:' mud-splattered, unapologetic, ecstatic. Watching it, you can't help but feel caked in mud, with the smell of booze and wood smoke hanging in the damp air.

"For us and everyone up there, [the music festival] has become the party of the summer…. This year when I heard that the video's director, Vincent, was coming to the fair to do some filming, I called him and requested he bring a couple good cameras and a rain poncho… Vincent dug in deep, making friends with the fairgoers, capturing some of the absurd moments and the seamless clashing of worlds that seems like it could only happen in Shigawake." - Andrew Barr

'Queens of the Breakers' has been met with raves from Paste (8.7/10), Under the Radar, Magnet, Q Magazine, Exclaim!, and more. The title track was premiered by NPR Music, who called it "a perfect illustration of the band's attention to musical detail with memorable results." As the first radio single in North America, "It Came to Me," has been #1 three times already on the CBC Radio2 chart in Canada while the band witnessed their strongest debut at radio in history in the United States.

Listen to the Barr Brothers discuss the origins of the album (and have a jam session using objects they found around the studio) on WNYC's The Takeaway in October: https://bit.ly/2z4gsq7

Featuring brothers Brad and Andrew Barr, and harpist Sarah Pagé, The Barr Brothers will embark on a massive international tour this month that begins with a UK and European run with The War On Drugs followed by the band's biggest-ever North American tour to date. See below for all dates.

PRAISE FOR 'QUEENS OF THE BREAKERS'
"A band that has consistently questioned the limits of folk, blues and psychedelia… 'Queens of the Breakers' holds fast to hope and shows both a continuation and an evolution for one of the most creative bands out there today" - Paste

"Imaginative genre blends and captivating melodies…the entirety of 'Queens' deserves slow exploration and sincere openness. If 'Queens' earns The Barr Brothers serious consideration for year-end lists, it would not be surprising" - Under the Radar

"Their most richly-coloured record to date" Q Magazine / 4 out of 5
"A rich and compelling record that deserves and rewards your close attention" - Exclaim! / 9 out of 10

"Shimmering vocal harmonies and a rolling undercurrent of acoustic/electric guitar and harp bring the brothers' summer memories to life - it's a remarkably visual album in this way" - Magnet Magazine

"Meticulous dream-weaving" - Mojo
"One of my favorite tracks of the year" - Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music (on "You Would Have To Lose Your Mind")

"Gorgeous" - Brooklyn Vegan
"On their third album, the Montreal group combine tight little folk songs and expansive blues jams and it never falls apart" - NOW Toronto / 4 out of 5

"Busy without ever feeling overcrowded, its liquid acoustics following the soft contours of Brad's vocals to telling effect" - Uncut

"'Queens Of The Breakers' is a gift…The Barr Brothers' greatest work yet" - Thank Folk For That
