The Barr Brothers return with “Let it Hiss”, their first album in eight years—a document of personal reckoning and musical renewal. After hitting a breaking point in 2022, brothers Brad and Andrew Barr chose honesty over habit, reconnecting not only with each other but with the messy beauty of imperfection. “It’s what happened when we stopped pretending everything was fine,” says Andrew. The result is their most personal and collaborative work to date.
Recorded in Montreal and produced by the brothers themselves, “Let it Hiss” features contributions from longtime friends including Elizabeth Powell of Land of Talk, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, and Québécois artist Klô Pelgag.
Tracks range from garage-band reggae to hushed folk hymns and climactic soul-punk eruptions, all mixed by Jon Low (The National, Bon Iver). The album’s title doubles as a mission statement: leave the hiss in, celebrate the cracks.
After decades of playing together, The Barr Brothers strip everything back to find new ground—embracing vulnerability, joy, and the unpredictable path forward.
