October 15, 2025 – The Barr Brothers will release Let It Hiss - their long-awaited first studio album in nearly 8 years - this Friday (Secret City Records). Today they’ve shared the final single from the album in “Another Tangerine.” Let It Hiss isn’t just a collection of 10 vital new songs, it’s a document of transformation, and an invitation to a place where the flaws aren't edited out, they're amplified. The result of a pivotal shift, it represents a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between two brothers - Brad and Andrew Barr - who’ve spent their entire lives making music side by side. Stream “Another Tangerine” HERE “Another Tangerine” explores the album’s more intimate, folk-leaning side and might remind fans of their 2014 hit “Even The Darkness Has Arms.” Guitarist/singer/songwriter Brad says: "This was the last song we recorded for the album. We recorded it live in a room together, nylon string, drums and vocals. I'd been kicking this song idea around for about 4 years…’the skin was dirty but the fruit was clean.’ I was trying to make a recommitment to love, but within the mindset I was operating, I didn't have the tools to do this. The words would not come.....UNTIL I changed the fuel I was running on. Then, slowly, came gratitude, compassion, acceptance, trust, and all the other verses and the chorus followed." The Barr Brothers are currently on the road with Mumford & Sons, on a tour of East Coast arenas including a homecoming performance at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Andrew - The Barr Brothers’ drummer/singer/songwriter - has also been playing drums for Mumford & Sons on their recent Rushmere tour. The Barr Brothers will then launch their headline tour in support of Let It Hiss this coming February, including Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, The Sinclair in Boston, Thalia Hall in Chicago, and MTELUS in Montreal. Full dates below. Let It Hiss was produced by Brad and Andrew, working primarily as a duo out of their Montreal studio, and worked with mix engineer Jon Low (The National, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver). The album also features Elizabeth Powell (Land Of Talk), Ariel Engle (La Force), Patrick Watson, and Jim James (My Morning Jacket). The Barr Brothers have shared a number of singles and music videos since announcing the album in June, including title track “Let it Hiss,” propulsive open-road anthem “Run Right Into It”, the graceful folk hymn “English Harbour” featuring Jim James, and “Naturally”, a heartfelt ode to self-acceptance. The Barr Brothers - formed by Brad and Andrew Barr - released their debut album in 2010 and have since been awarded Three Félix Awards in Quebec, three JUNO Award nominations for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, and a Polaris Music Prize longlist placement. They are regular-rotation fixtures on NPR, SiriusXM, KCRW, KEXP and have made multiple national TV appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and CBS Saturday Morning. Their music has also been heard on programs like True Detective, Your Honor, Catfish, Rookie Blue and more, and their work has earned praise from legends such as Robert Plant, Bon Iver, David Crosby and Bill Kreutzmann. Brad and Andrew also co-wrote a song for the movie “The Iron Claw” featuring Jeremy Allen White titled “Live That Way Forever” with Richard Reed Perry and Little Scream. When The Barr Brothers aren’t touring, or performing together in their beloved band The Slip, Andrew has spent time playing drums for Feist, Gracie Abrams, Broken Social Scene and others. Brad has explored a wide array of collaborations and released his meditative solo album The Winter Mission in 2022. Pre-order the Let it Hiss vinyl here
