This album gives us ten glimpses into the restless thoughts of a romantic loner. Disarmingly honest lyrics float on meandering melodies fuelled by one part swagger, one part sway. While ultimately a contribution to the ’solo-artist rock and roll record’ tradition that includes Neil Young, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and more recently people like Jeff Buckley, Liz Phair, Brendan Benson, and Hawksley Workman. Means and Ends also owes debts to the Beatles, The Band, Tom Waits and Hayden, to name but a few. Simply put, Barber is a passionate music fan making music, and what emerges is a distinctive voice. A good song is a good song, and listeners will hear the influences that they want to hear. Means and Ends goes well with headphones, coffee, and a sunny room on a Sunday afternoon.
