Posted on by

Masterful Swedish post-Rock band Barrens will release their new album Penumbra, tomorrow 4/10/2020 via Pelagic Records. The group features members of long-running Indie Rock band Scraps of Tape.

You can stream the full album here at Ghost Cult, as well a pre-order the release at the link below. Continue reading →
