New Album Let It Hiss Out Now

|
“There’s a touch of folk, a touch of Americana and a touch of indie...the one constant is quality control, therefore it’s a job excellently done.” - MOJO (4 stars) “An engaging collection of songs from a band at the top of their game, where everything just lands together perfectly.” Americana UK “Vibrant and as eclectic as ever…it feels like an amalgamation of their lives in music, traversing a variety of projects and genres.” - Glide Magazine “Exceptionally striking in its insight and candor” - Relix “Let It Hiss redefines who they are and what they believe… Let It Hiss is about honesty, a reflection on what it means to be alive… The Barr Brothers take chances because they have no other option” - For Folk’s Sake |

November 3, 2025 - The Barr Brothers’ headlining tour in support of their just-released new album Let It Hiss (Secret City) now totals over 30 dates, with today’s announcement of a March run of shows in the Southwest and West Coast, including the Lodge Room and Troudadour in Los Angeles March 19 + 20. Let It Hiss - Brad and Andrew Barr’s first album in nearly 8 years - is being met with raves. Stream Let It Hiss HERE Internationally renowned for their virtuosic musicianship and electrifying live performances, The Barr Brothers recently completed a run of shows in support of Mumford & Sons (who drummer Andrew Barr joined on their recent Rushmeretour) that saw the band performing in arenas, including a homecoming performance at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Recently-announced support for the forthcoming headlining tour includes ascendant singer/songwriter Anna Tivel, muli-instrumentalist/songwriter Benjamin Lazar Davis, and Montreal’s own Land Of Talk, who provides guest vocals on Let It Hiss. Tickets are available HERE. Let It Hiss was produced by Brad and Andrew Barr, working primarily as a duo out of their Montreal studio, and worked with mix engineer Jon Low (The National, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver). In addition to Elizabeth Powell (Land Of Talk)’s contributions on “Run Right Into It”, the album also features guest appearances from Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Patrick Watson, and Klo Pelgag. Their fourth studio album isn’t just a collection of 10 vital new songs, it’s a document of transformation. The result of a pivotal shift: a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between two brothers who’ve spent their entire lives making music side by side. Released in July as the second preview of Let It Hiss, the propulsive open-road anthem “Run Right Into It” has been released as a new mix by Rich Costey (Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers, Haim, Foster the People) and is climbing the charts at AAA radio. To date, the track has landed in the Top 10 most increased spins at Mediabase w/ 40 ADDS and Let It Hiss has also seen extensive support on DSPs, with new tracks appearing on playlists like Fresh Folk (Spotify), and Wax Eclectic (Apple Music).
