Selected Press for Barzin
"...Think Sparklehorse minus the heroin and Tindersticks minus the accent and you'll have an idea of where Barzin is coming from, but you'll need to experience My Life In Rooms first-hand to know where he's heading. A must." - Now Toronto (NNNN)
"... This is a masterpiece in slow, melodic melancholy, occupying similar territories to the early work of the 'Red House Painters' and original slow core luminaries 'Low'. Assured and confident song writing complement its languid mood and the only disappointment arrives when it ends. Highly recommended." - Tasty Fanzine
"Coming across like a ghostly Calexico jamming with Radiohead... a dreamy haze of track that perfectly sets the mood for whats to follow. Recommended." - Boomkat
"..an enchanting experience...stretches the emotions as it meanders with listless beauty...melodies that ebb forth are darkly framed in intimate sounding fragile states that are elegantly woven and deliriously beguiling." - www.losingtoday.com
"Its guitars, softly cut vocals and moaning and droning keyboards form melancholy textures that drip like January molasses, suggesting classic Canadian and British folk while remaining modern, if only for its dangerously slow pulse." - Montreal Mirror
"Spacious and warm arrangements colour Barzin's whispering, soothing voice with delicate clarity..." - www.therecord.com
"Enchanting, soft, subtle, ingenious...an artist to urgently discover." - www.indiepoprock.net
"It is Barzin's voice that made me fall in love. Velvet soft,... it breaks your heart and sews it back together again, roughly, in not quite the same shape." - Silhouette Review
"Barzin imposes refinement and poetic vision... This first album is full of promises for the future and one can regard Barzin as one of the beautiful revelations of the year 2003." - www.i-n-f-r-a.net
