"Fresh from his European headline tour, global rising star, Barns Courtney today announces his second studio album ‘404’ which is set for release on September 6th via Virgin EMI.

The album will feature 10 new tracks and will explore his transition into adulthood with conflicted feelings of loss, frustration and optimism. Fans can expect to hear his deep vocals bringing adding an energy to a mixture of intense rock grooves and softer melodic sounds. Recorded in the middle of the night, the vocals were recorded in only one take and are largely improvised. It is perhaps Barns’ most raw and intimate work yet as he invites listeners into some of his deepest thoughts. To date, Barns has landed over 300,000 global album sales, more than 470 million global streams and 45 million YouTube views. More recently, his last single ‘99’ peaked at #5 on the US Airplay charts and received support from BBC Radio 1 DJ, Annie Mac who described it as “a cross between Kings Of Leon and MGMT”. Barns has announced his biggest European Tour to date which includes his largest UK headline show at London’s Electric Ballroom on October 23rd Released on CD jewelcase and a 1 x black heavyweight vinyl, spied sleeve, printed inner, download."
