Charlie Barnes announces new album ‘Last Night’s Glitter’

CHARLIE BARNES has announced a new album!

Titled Last Night’s Glitter, the upcoming album from the touring multi-instrumentalist with the hugely successful British act BASTILLE is a collection of new stripped-back arrangements. The album will be released in July, via InsideOut Music.

Recorded and mixed in his home studio, the upcoming album features new stripped-back arrangements of tracks from his 2018 album Oceanography, as well as 2015’s More Stately Mansions, complete with woodwind, brass & string flourishes from the likes of Jonny Abraham & Rittipo [PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING, BASTILLE] and more. Closing out the album is a brand new piece, and the record’s title track, a piece of music that Charlie describes as “the kind of song where a writer manages to translate exactly where and who they are at a certain time into a handful of verses.”

Speaking further about the upcoming collection, Charlie says, “this album, which was supposed to be a couple of throwaway bonus tracks, or a swiftly turned around EP, or a handful of live session videos to help point people, and their wallets, in the direction of its predecessor, has taken me far longer to make than it should have done. So long, in fact, that I no longer see it as a standard issue piece of promotional material, but a body of work that I hope will come to hold its own amongst my repertoire.”
