Song Review/ Americana : Barn & Belle’s ‘Thank You’
Barn and Belle are an Americana duo, who revive old country instrumentation and mood to a contemporary flow. Their latest release is ‘Thank You’, a track that teases their upcoming EP, ‘In Between’. It is built like a river, journeying through the countryside. With flow and flourish, the sound comes alive. The song sets a scene, builds a frame and sets up a country state of mind.
The plucked melodies of the ukulele in the introduction are dimensionalised with a faraway, muted harmonica. With one note, the scene changes. It is flush and luminous. Belle and Barn’s vocals fill the song, fill the soundscape. It’s a rustic barn celebration that grows into a beautiful feeling of gratitude, and a kindred feeling of wonder and love. With its blues and roots influenced country, the song takes you back to artists like The Wood Brothers, Pokey LaFarge, and TuskHead. Listen Now!
