Barry Archie Johnson – Fortune’s Mirror

Barry has quickly become one of our favorite figures in the Los Angeles experimental music scene. During a recent performance at our West Hollywood headquarters, Hayden Pedigo asked Barry to perform with him “Sun-Like Star” from Fortune’s Mirror as the last song of his set. An already bewitched audience erupted in cheers of gratitude once the song was finished, seemingly touched by the brief songs earnest vulnerability. The whole of Fortunes Mirror possess this quality. It’s as though you’re peering into a very personal place, but one with balmy lighting and a friendly face waving you in. This feeling is further accentuated by Patrick Shiroshi’s contributions on saxophone as well as the general warmth of the recording. Fans of artists as varied as Daniel Bachman, Steve Tibbetts, and the Kinsella brothers should give this one a listen.
