Barbara is an album that is best listened to on a long car ride home at night. Barrie uses inspiration from alternative rock to folk to create an album that makes you feel as happy as a clam or as sad as raindrops on a grave. Barrie takes us into a world of her past relationships and core memories using great imagery.

My personal favorite song off the album is “Basketball”. This song is the perfect music for an indie video game trailer. Barrie uses amazing production to set up a climax for the song all while using stunning sounds that almost make you float.
