Barns Courtney has announced an October headline UK tour.

Barns will head out on tour to celebrate the release of his forthcoming second album ‘404’, due out on September 6th via Virgin EMI.

The album will feature 10 new tracks, exploring his transition into adulthood with conflicted feelings of loss, frustration and optimism.

Recorded in the middle of the night with the vocals recorded in only one take and largely improvised, Barns invites listeners into some of his deepest thoughts…

Speaking of the album, Barns said: “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.”
