His broadest and most diverse project yet, the 11-track album moves from deep house to jazz, from ambience to the percussive charge of afrobeat. It’s all held together by his singular sense of purpose and that trademark vivacity; deftly finessed, it’s an album that works as a form of musical autobiography. “You only get to make your debut album once,” he points out. “So I want to showcase all the elements of the things I enjoy and love in music up to this point.” This intimate in-store Record Corner show comes ahead of his fully sold-out UK headline Live tour in November. Barry’s debut live shows earlier this summer all sold out instantly and needed to be upgraded. The singles from the album have seen strong regular support at both Radio 1 (for who Barry played Big Weekend two years in a row) and 6Music.

Barry Can’t Swim’s highly anticipated debut album is finally here, set for announcement on 31st May 2023 before release on October 20th. Those who have liked Barry’s output to date will love this full length, it showcases both sides of his artistry - his ability to write dancefloor-ready party bangers and also his more downtempo, piano-led pieces. These two sides will also come to life throughout 2023 and beyond on stage, with a stacked diary of both traditional DJ shows and his very first full band live shows. Every album track was written and crafted with it’s position within the full length piece of work in mind - it’s an album designed as such, rather than a collection of songs thrown together.
Formats: Standard LP: Pink coloured 140g vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with inner sleeve and shrink-wrapped in eco-plastic with sticker. CD: CD housed in a printed gatefold sleeve, shrinkwrapped in eco-plastic and stickered.
