Barzin - Barzin (Reissue) (2003/2007)

Debut album by Canadian singer/songwriter Barzin. Originally released in 2003. Re-issued in 2007 on Monotreme Records.

“Barzin’s self-titled debut album is a gorgeous marriage of mood, minimalism and melancholia. Imagine Slint’s quieter moments or Hayden’s more gothic opuses and you’ll have an idea of Barzin’s approach… This is a morose masterpiece, an exercise in understatement that leaves the listener wanting more…"

"… a sad beauty worthy of entry among the slow-core canon of Red House Painters, Cat Power, Low, et al".

These are some of the many praises showered on the eponymous debut album of Toronto singer/songwriter Barzin, which was originally released in North America on Where Are My Records (2003), and also had a short-run release in France and Italy on the French label Ocean Music. The album was re-issued worldwide on Monotreme Records in 2007.
