Little Barrie - Please Tell Me

ORIGINATION We Are Little Barrie
LAST LISTENED TO last week
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT fairly low
RATING

Little Barrie are a three piece (guitar/bass/drums) who formed in Nottingham in 2000. Their music is a rough funky rock that has a very spontaneous sound, whilst at the same time exhibiting a meticulously crafted nature upon closer inspection.

Please Tell Me is from their debut album released in Feb '06. It contains all the best elements in Little Barrie's arsenal: there are some fine guitar hooks, simple, funky drums and wonderfully interwoven lyrics.

Rather than going on about this, let me direct you to a review of the album on Allmusic. On this occasion, their review really is exactly on the money and it seems fairly pointless to reinterpret it here. You could also have found out more about Little Barrie on their website, but it is currently being rebuilt.

Now go and get their album, it's great!
