Barbarossa, aka. London-based James Mathé, makes sad-faced, soul inflected electronica for people who enjoy being a bit pensive. Latest track, “The Load”, is no different, a gentle ballad, sung over tinkling organ notes and accompanied by this equally sombre video. The perfect soundtrack to gazing out of a rain-stained window wondering why she hasn’t called back after you left three thousand voicemails.
“The Load” is out April 8th via Memphis Industries.
