Barcelona Posted New Song “Paper Lion”
Seattle indie-pop stalwarts Barcelona are planning to promote three self-release EPs during the three first months of the year. The EPs will collectively be titled “The Melodrama”.
The first EP, "Love Me," is available from Jan. 21, 2014 and the track "Background" was already posted for the fans.
"'Background' actually started out as a completely different song -- at first, it sounded more like 'Take My Breath Away' than an 'upbeat, jealous but Im'a be alright club jam,'" says the frontman Brian Fennell. "If you would have asked young Barcelona years ago if a song like 'Background' would be in its future, we would have laughed, flipped our flat-ironed emo swoop out of the way and gone back to trying to squeeze into our H&M pants. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of where we've come from, but our hope is that people have as much fun enjoying the new sound on these EPs as we had creating them."
Barcelona will release four more tracks as "Love You" in February 18, and then four more as "Know Love" on March 18. Each EP from "The Melodrama" will be released digitally, with limited editions available on vinyl, and a spring 2014 tour will be announced soon.
