From the ever prolific Anton Barbeau, we bring you the title track from his 13th album Plastic Guitar . "With but a few years remaining until 2012, Anton Barbeau has been busier than ever, spreading his "pre-apocalyptic psychedelic pop" far and wide. California-born, but currently residing in Cambridge, England, Barbeau has toured the UK from tip to tail, and has confused and amused audiences from Istanbul to Berlin with his mind-bending stage-show and auto-neurotic humour. He's supported a crazy range of other artists, from Martin [...]

A groovy folk collaboration, Bag Of Kittens is Allyson Seconds, the moonbeam who brings honey velvet vocals and grounded female energy, and Anton Barbeau, the energetic, psychedelic, rock-pop-punk sunray on piano, guitar and driving Neil Diamond-esque vocals. Allyson and Anton lay down easy-going vibes recording live at The Hangar in Sacramento. Listening to their smooth, clever tunes proves luxurious and effortless, like sunning on a private, tropical beach, slathered in coconut oil with your favorite cocktail, exquisite company, a good read and the occasional gentle breeze. Tie My Laces is a grown-up stoner [...]

Affectionately known as Ant, Anton Barbeau, like the vibe that sprays out from his music, is kind, kooky and fun.

Anton and his gang (including Allyson Seconds contributing vocal harmonies) came in on the fly and played only days before he shipped from Northern Cali to Cambridge, where he now [...]

I've been listening to and singing this song over and over again the past few days. It'll sink into your meninges and leave you invisibly altered. Anton Barbeau and Allyson Seconds (pictured left with Allison the cellist) interweave their similarly lush voices to tell a simple yet profound story, snug like a default sweater, duet style. Who leads vocally is almost imperceptible, thus drawing the listener ever more deeply into the experience, perhaps familiar territory, of the song. Say Your Name is part of a collection we [...]
