Barns Courtney returns with 'Supernatural'

Today, Barns Courtney arrives with the first release off his upcoming album, “Supernatural.” The track introduces a new era of Barns Courtney, complete with a brand-new look and storyline.

With “Supernatural,” what could be pegged as a quintessential relationship track quickly solidifies itself as a song about desire with growling vocal work that details "the way one dances in and out of each other’s lives.” The anthemic track features incendiary guitar riffs and an infectious presence that’s synonymous with Barns Courtney.

The UK-born, Seattle-bred singer/songwriter offers up a body of work informed by his far-ranging obsessions (the writings of Oscar Wilde, ritualistic iconography and ancient mythology, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, to name a few), all crystallized in an elaborate narrative centered a post-apocalyptic cult leader. Each forthcoming track will offer additional details, effectively building out a world created by the artist.

Music, for Barns Courtney, “is the ability to connect with other humans in a way that’s completely unbound by societal norms. If you do it right, you can lift people up, you can help them to release their inhibitions, you can make them feel like they’ve been transported to a whole different world. The chance to do that for other people will always be the real pull for me.”
