"Fans can expect to hear his deep vocals bringing adding an energy to a mixture of intense rock grooves and softer melodic sounds [...] It is perhaps Barns’ most raw and intimate work yet as he invites listeners into some of his deepest thoughts."
- Vents Magazine
Barns Courtney's second studio album, 404, features 10 tracks exploring the artist's transition into adulthood, dealing with loss, frustration, and optimism. The album was recorded in the middle of the night, with the vocals recorded in one take and mostly improvised.
“The album circulates around the themes of existential authenticity, and how we lose ourselves as we age. A 404 error is when a computer can’t find what it’s looking for. It connects with the server but the page isn’t there anymore. As a child of the digital age, the comparison felt apt. And although in some ways, our former lives still exist inside of us, they’re ultimately hollow shells of what they once were, living breathing experiences. We can follow the links to our past, but there’s nothing there. It’s a painful realization and one that fascinated me whilst writing the record in my friends’ old bedroom in the backwaters of Yaxley where we first started almost 10 years ago.”
