Barnaby Bright - Gravity

Barnaby Bright - Brooklyn-based duo of Becky and Nathan Bliss have a way with a lovely melody and some classic folk/pop leanings on their new six-song EP...we caught Becky solo nearly five years and have watched her and Nathan's remarkable growth as songwriters and performers at the clubs on NY's Lower East Side // Release: Gravity (June 7, Mishara) // Sounds like: that special place somewhere between the sleek adult pop of The Weepies and the more intimate harmonied splendor of The Civil Wars...classically-trained vocalist Becky has an effortless, gorgeous tone while multi-instrumentalist Nathan adds harmony and a virtual kit bag of backing sound // Quote: "We're trying to open a window through sound into that other place. We want to give the listener a break from the real world." // What we like: the finish-my-sentence rapport of the duo makes for an exceptional aspect of their live shows..."Finally Said It" is a near perfect song and, as we noted when we featured it as a Daily Track last year, "keeps you wondering what interesting twist and turn the melody is headed for next"...New single, the Simon-and-Garfunkel-ish "Gravity", is a hymn-like love song of delicacy and grace, Becky's voice conjuring both the sultry and sweet as Nathan adds hushed counterpoint harmony...
