LADY ON THE CUSP

Description

Over the past two decades, the creative force Kevin Barnes has amazed fans with his vast catalog of infinitely fascinating pop shows. Barnes' writing and production aesthetic has since become emblematic in the industry and has been critically acclaimed by Pitchfork, which described the album "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" as "endlessly fascinating and inexhaustibly replayable," while ranking it as the #5 album of the year. Barnes' influence on pop music is undeniable, with multiple television appearances as well as brilliant collaborations with Solange, Janelle Monáe, Jon Brion, and others. The band has also performed around the world, with appearances at prestigious festivals.
On his new album Lady on the Cusp, Barnes changes genres with each song. On tracks like "Rude Girl on Rotation," Barnes revisits the sounds of guitar pop and psychedelia from the late '60s reminiscent of Lousy With Sylvianbriar from 2013, while "Young Hearts Bleed Free" and "Music Hurts The Head" showcase Barnes' love for experimental funk pop that has been present in much of the band's discography. Lady on the Cusp is another exciting listen from one of today's most prolific and influential musical artists.
