Barry Can’t Swim – Loner (Gold vinyl)

Throughout ‘Loner’ we see Barry Can’t Swim navigate and explore the world he’s found himself in, a highly personal album that asks profound questions of its creator and his audience. Informed by the staggering success of Barry’s live shows around the world (including three sell-out shows at Brixton Academy, a stand-out performance at last year’s Glastonbury and confirmed headliner slot at many of this years biggest summer festivals) plus countless impressive accolades (top 3 in the 2025 BBC Sound Poll with Chappell Roan and Ezra Collective, plus 2024 Mercury Music Prize and BRIT award nominations), ‘Loner’ remains anchored to his roots both as a grounded human being and a progressive, ever-evolving artist.

“”If my first album was a collage of all the music I loved and was inspired by growing up, then this album is the most authentic expression I could offer of myself and my life over the past year” Barry comments.
