Brad Barr THE WINTER MISSION (CLEAR RED VINYL)

$27.99 USD

Description
For more than 20 years, BRAD BARR has been counting the number 216. Its a mysterious number that seems to show up everywhere - from clocks and license plates to Ouija boards and receipts - and now its also sewn the fabric of his new album, like the 216 stitches on a baseball. The Barr Brothers frontman has set aside his band, his microphone and even his lyric-sheet - picking up his instrument for a solo guitar album that ripples with immediacy, vulnerability, and the spell of six-cubed. Inspired by artists like Caetano Veloso, Mississippi Fred McDowell, D'Gary and John Frusciante, Barr set out to make music that was naked and unprocessed, but also occasionally loud - alive with a sense of wakeful intimacy. The number 216 was a constant theme. The guitarist first encountered the so-called magic square during a teenage acid trip; in the years since then its become a talisman - one of the few areas where Barr feels mystical, sensing a genuine order in the universe. These songs pay tribute to that orderfrom 216s lofty mathematical and astrological properties to its function as an area code (for Cleveland). Still, you dont need to believe in 216 to fall for this record. You dont even need to be able to count that high. Its enough to feel the grace that shimmers underneath these tracks, a wild musics secret scaffolding. 3,4,5.....6 YOUR DAD'S AWAKE CLEVELAND, OH ANCIENT CALENDARS THE COLOR OF NINE BASEBALL TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN MAGIC SQUARE AUTONOMIE UNTOUCHABLE NUMBER SAFE PRAYER BEADS
