REVIEW BY JMM
Diving, weaving, and then delivering a colossal hook to the musical senses, Kris Barras Band’s “Hourglass” is an unrelenting force of heavyweight tuneage. Marking a departure toward darker and heavier realms, this track solidifies Barras’ evolution within the West Country rock scene.
In a nod to rock’s history, “Hourglass” introduces the genre’s most prominent whistling since Scorpions’ “Wind of Change.” The West Country rocker navigates through urgent and impassioned vocals, colossal grooves, and industrially charged fretwork, creating a widescreen and stadium-filling sonic experience that resonates for days.
As a tantalizing glimpse into what’s to come, this track sets the stage for the impending release of the new album, ‘Halo Effect,’ scheduled for April. With a lineup featuring frontman Kris Barras, Josiah J. Manning on guitar, Billy Hammett on drums, and the latest addition, Frazer Kerslake on bass, the quartet is poised for a monumental year in 2024. Brace yourself for a musical knockout as Kris Barras Band continues its ascent, leaving an indelible mark on the sonic landscape.
