▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ Release Notes ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Matthew Barber was born in Toronto during the frightful storm
of '77. His musical education consisted of oldies at a young
age, top-forty pop during the awkward middle-school years, a
classic-rock epiphany in high-school and total immersion in
the indie-rock renaissance of the mid-90's.
At eighteen, Barber fled the insulated suburban surroundings
of his childhood for the confederation-era charm of Kingston,
Ontario. His four years there left him book-smarter and
musically fortified thanks to countless hours in the record
library of the university radio station. Battling millennium
blues and unsure of what to do next, Barber steeled himself
for a stab at graduate school in Donut Rawk City - Hamilton,
Ontario. It was there that he honed his songwriting and live
show, performing regular solo gigs at the sorely missed Raven
club. Early in 2002, ten songs from BarberÆs vast songbook
(chronicled over six years of dedicated four-tracking) were
chosen to make up his studio debut. Enlisting the help of
Julian Brown on bass and Dean Stone on drums (Andrew
Whiteman, Feist, Howie Beck), Barber made the album with
James Paul at TorontoÆs Rogue studio in spring 2002. Means
and Ends was released independently in Hamilton in June of
2002, and sold out of its initial pressing. Fortunately
upstart label Paper Bag Records entered the picture after
Barber re-located to Toronto in the fall of 2002, and a deal
was worked out to re-release Means and Ends with new artwork
and a revised track sequence.
The album gives us ten glimpses into the restless thoughts of
a romantic loner. Disarmingly honest lyrics float on
meandering melodies fuelled by one part swagger, one part
sway. While ultimately a contribution to the ôsolo-artist
rock and roll recordö tradition that includes Neil Young,
Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and more recently people like Jeff
Buckley, Liz Phair, Brendan Benson, and Hawksley Workman,
Means and Ends also owes debts to the Beatles, the Band, Tom
Waits and Hayden, to name but a few. Simply put, Barber is a
passionate music fan making music, and what emerges is a
distinctive voice. A good song is a good song, and listeners
will hear the influences that they want to hear.
Matthew Barber has shared bills with the likes of the Joel
Plaskett Emergency, Oh Susanna, Sarah Slean, The Rheostatics,
Royal City, Brendan Benson and Ben Lee. The current live
line-up features Julian Brown on bass, Joel Stouffer on drums
and Paul Kolinski on guitar. Check 'Live Dates' for a show in
your town.
