Huit ans se sont écoulés depuis la sortie du dernier album studio des Barr Brothers, originaires de Montréal. Durant cette période, la vie les a menés vers de nouveaux horizons, tant personnels que professionnels, modifiant leur façon de composer ensemble.

Leur quatrième album studio, Let it Hiss , n’est pas qu’un simple recueil de chansons. C’est un témoignage de transformation. La création de cet album a marqué un tournant décisif : une pause pour la réflexion, une confrontation avec la vulnérabilité et des retrouvailles entre les deux frères qui ont passé plus de trente ans à faire de la musique ensemble.
Let it Hiss ne résout pas tant qu’il ne révèle. Il invite l’auditeur à se laisser porter – par le souffle, la profondeur, l’émerveillement. Alors que les Barr Brothers avancent, une chose est claire : ils se sont retrouvés et, ce faisant, ils ont retrouvé le chemin de la musique.
