Barrows Teases New Album "Obsidion"

Barrows just issued a trailer from the impending "Obsidion" LP -- including the first bits of audio from the expansive, conceptual album, as well as the immersive artwork -- as Tonzonen Records prepares the 2xLP for its late May release.

The band has also announced the lineups for a month-long live residency at The Echo in Los Angeles for the month of May. Barrows comments: "When we create albums it is much like making a movie for us. Each album is a specific world that we are exploring and none of our albums are interconnected in any way. The new record follows the journey of a man who is taken from Earth and brought to 'Obsidion.'"

New album "Obsidion" was written and performed by Jim Leonard and Richy Epolito, recorded and mixed by Sean Foye, Jim Leonard, and Richy Epolito. The album was mastered by Eroc from Grobschnitt and features starkly abstract artwork and photography by Alexandre Souêtre. The album will be released May 26th, digitally through the band, and on deluxe 2xLP via Tonzonen Records.

Barrows will play live frequently over the coming months in support of "Obsidion," having already booked a solid roster of hometown shows, beginning May 1st as the band opens for Brant Bjork (founding member of Kyuss). The following week, Barrows begins a month-long residency at The Echo, where the band will be playing a free show every Monday of the month with a bill of area bands.
