| “Barzin’s self-titled debut album is a gorgeous marriage of mood, minimalism and melancholia. Imagine Slint’s quieter moments or Hayden’s more gothic opuses and you’ll have an idea of Barzin’s approach… This is a morose masterpiece, an exercise in understatement that leaves the listener wanting more…"
"… a sad beauty worthy of entry among the slow-core canon of Red House Painters, Cat Power, Low, et al".
These are some of the many praises showered on the eponymous debut album of Toronto singer/songwriter Barzin, which was originally released in North America on Where Are My Records (2003), and also had a short-run release in France and Italy on the French label Ocean Music. Since 2004, it has been out of print in Europe, and will now be available for the first time worldwide, including it's first ever digtal release.
The follow-up album, ‘My Life In Rooms’ was released in Europe in 2006 and was similarly acclaimed, leading to a demand for the re-issue of the S/T debut. |
