OUR NEW EP "WORMING" IS NOW AVAILABLE ON: ITUNES, EMUSIC, AMAZON, DIGSTATION, LALA, CDBABY and everywhere fine records are sold.

"The Barrens, four men and one woman named Debbie Chou, have created such an original and refreshing sound it gives me a sugar high. I can’t stress it enough how excited I am about this group." -Bearcast Radio


We started around 2004 in Upstate NY, then known as Burn the Koalas. Quickly added a 4th member, changed our name, eventually moved to NYC (where most of the band grew up.) Played a bunch of shows, recorded a couple of demos, worked with engineer extraordinaire Greg Gordon (Walkmen, Oasis, Public Enemy) Recorded an as of yet unreleased EP with indie rock pioneer and noisy genius John Schmersal (Brainiac, Enon) and established ourselves in the NYC scene. Produced 2 revolutionary podcasts, (mixing and blending all existing and unreleased material into extended 'mixtape podcasts) added a 5th member about a year ago, now finally complete. First EP as a 5 piece, "Worming" is now available.

Get on the barrens mailing list to be updated on the status of this much anticipated new release. EMAIL US HERE: barrensmusic@hotmail.com visit our website: barrensmusic.com (unreleased songs, pics, video soon) listen to our groundbreaking podcasts: thebarrens.podomatic.com

You're welcome.  You guys are really doing a great job.  I keep passing a stencil of your name on a building on Mercer St.  Not to say you guys put it there or anything.... but I see it pretty regularly and keep meaning to say hello, then I saw the Deli write up.  Congrats on that.  Good work guys.
