Acclaimed rock artist, Barns Courtney is back today with “Golden“, his first release of 2023. The dynamic track is a perfect blend of gritty rock, and bass-heavy pop, described perfectly by Courtney as “a weird, lurid, love letter to ADHD.” Listen to the track now below.
Speaking of the song, he explained, “It’s a mashup of all my favorite obsessions. One big art project from the story to the visuals. A little Bowie, a little rocky horror, some 90s anime underpinned by a cult leader narrative.”
The UK-born, Seattle-bred rock singer/songwriter is proving to be one of the rising stars to emerge from the recent UK rock insurgence stateside which includes acclaimed friends and collaborators Yonaka, Wargasm, and Cassyette along with recent collaborations with rock royalty The Prodigy and Tom Morello.
Working closely with Indie legend Carl Barrat of The Libertines, Courtney’s next album is set to be one of the most unique collabs of the year.
“If you do it right, you can transport the audience to a different dimension. The chance to do that for other people will always be the real pull for me.”
