People in our RSS feeds probably just got confused. No, I'm not refering to Barzin, the talented musician who leaves me sad and bitter about bad breakups, but Barzin , the insanely talented British instrumentalist/hip-hop/remix/ mashup our pals at Slowcoustic , along with Dev at Hype Machine Radio , humorously stumbled upon last night via twitter mishap. It's really a pretty important choice this morning to head over to his busy, but easy to figure out website . [...]
Barzin is a singer-songwriter from Toronto who just crossed my radar for the first time a few minutes ago. One of the best things that comes my way each day is an email from a listserv that I'm on where somebody sends out a track each day. You know, bloggers need to be kept grounded sometimes. We get all "I know the best music in the world and you don't" on people, but that's not always the case. I sure like to keep my head on straight, and this listserv is one of the things that helps [...]
Barzin 's third album, Notes to An Absent Lover , is a quiet melodic reflection of a breakup. But before you roll your eyes at another folky breakup album, let me tell you that this one is quite pretty and haunting. It's quiet and introspective, with weepy slide guitar, but doesn't get too get self-indulgent. While the lyrics focus on the sadness, anger and generally confused quality associated with breakups, its the orchestral arrangements that really drives this record. It's reverb heavy folk for those days when you only want to hear sad songs. [...]

Let the games begin, so to speak. The holiday lull is officially over. Pronounced and emphasized by the amazing leaks from the past four days, January is in full gear and the horde of new music is primed and ready to go. Our goal at Citizen Dick, as always, is to do our best to keep you ahead of the game with emerging music and new releases. An initial look at the next forty days of releases is quite daunting. Huge, canonical bands are dropping albums, continuing in the 2009 vein of big hitters going back to the well. Likewise, [...]

Bad Panda Records have just made this previously unreleased Barzin track available for download. I like Barzin and have been listening to him for years now and have both his self-titled first album and the second full-length My Life in Rooms . I usually play them when I need some space and quiet. And his songs are very quiet , curiously comforting, slightly melancholy. Like rain on a cold Sunday morning. I love his songs about cigarettes, drugs and lost love in that whispery soft voice of his. Read the interview and history of [...]
Bad Panda Records has released a new song from one of my favorite bands right now, Barzin. I think everyone knows my opinion on this band by now. I'm not going to go into it again. They're awesome. That's all you need to know. Barzin - It's Come to This Their Myspace Their Website Bad [...]
Canadian songwriter Barzin crafts melancholic folk songs for the suicide lane. Being a proud non-depressive I hesitate to take even the prescribed dosage of Barzin/year, because he's like a siren who can manipulate your mood easily. Today though I received an email from Bad Panda announcing that they have gotten a previously unreleased Barzin song and released it with CC license, now I'm sitting in my depression cardigan, drinking red wine and contemplating why it has come to this... Barzin - It's Come To This
Canadian songwriter Barzin brings all kinds of north of the border credibility to the table having recorded and mixed his last album, Notes to an Absent Lover, with folks who have also worked with Ron Sexsmith, Neko Case, and The New Pornographers. One of his band members on his self-titled debut record was Tony Dekker [...]

Barzin's Notes to an Absent Lover isn't typically the type of album that would make it onto my short list of favorites, but there is something about the delicate nature of the record's near-perfect arrangements that really took a hold on me in 2009. Not to say that I shy away from quiet folk, in fact I am drawn to it more often than not, but rarely is a record so steeped in sadness that you find yourself playing over and over again. In terms of bringing on the waterworks, listening to Notes is the musical [...]

Alright, I only have three more albums to talk about. I mentioned before that I'm not working my way up to an ultimate best album of the year. However, I have left the last three albums for my all time favorites of the year. It's been hard waiting to talk about them [...]

Notes To An Absent Lover es el tercer álbum del artista canadiense Barzin, publicado recientemente a través del sello Monotreme Records , un disco grabado por Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith) y Jeremy Darby (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed), y que ha contado para las mezclas con gente como Chad Irschick y Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case, New Pornographers). A diferencia de sus trabajos anteriores, en esta ocasión la música es más directa, con canciones melódicas cuyo sonido se acerca más al pop, dejando atrás su vertiente más experimental de My Life In [...]
