Little Barrie & Malcolm Catto today shared their new single “Electric War,” the title track from the genre-bending trio’s forthcoming new album out April 18th via Easy Eye Sound. Groovy, sidewinding, and coolly enigmatic, the song is out now alongside a video filmed in Nashville’s Easy Eye Sound studio by director Robert Schober (The Killers, Green Day, My Chemical Romance).

“I took a train ride into town in an attempt to have some kind of a normal day after the fallout of losing a friend. Trying to keep it together and to myself,” explains Cadogan of the song. “I was surrounded by people transfixed by their devices, silently staring into screens as the landscape passed us by. It felt like none of us were living in the present. Passengers sucked in by their phones and myself stuck in the internal dialogue of a scenario that I couldn’t change. Too detached from the physical world.”

The second collaboration between Little Barrie (singer/guitarist Barrie Cadogan and bassist Lewis Wharton) and drummer Malcolm Catto (The Heliocentrics), and the follow-up to the band’s 2020 debut Quatermass Seven, Electric War is now available for pre-order HERE.

Produced by Catto and Little Barrie, Electric War sees the group trusting their instincts as they push themselves into unchartered musical territories. Its eight, intoxicating songs pack an unforgettable punch as it offers a unique musical melting pot of 21st century rock ’n roll, deep funk, jazz, and fuzzy atmospherics that propels their sound into exciting new directions. “We just pretty much do what we want to without tailoring our music to any specific genre,” Catto says of their approach to the new LP. Explains Cadogan, “From Malcolm, I learned a lot about the power of taking things down musically rather than just smashing the audience over the head with loud guitar for an hour. That can be cool, but in slowing the tempo or bringing the volume down, it gave us scope to say much more. We wanted to capture more of that in the studio, as well as the freakouts.”
