New Music: Sara Marie Barron – Killer (Moon Interlude)

Detroit-raised, Los Angeles-based musician Sara Marie Barron brings a new spin to the singer-songwriter sound with Killer (Moon Interlude).

A track from her Heaven’s Right Here EP, it sees Barron taking a contemplative look at the soul-stripping nature of late-stage capitalism. Based on a soothing and hypnotic synth loop, it allows Barron to wrap the listener in an understated, emotionally effective arrangement, her voice finding the soul in dream pop, and gently exposing the pain and unwitting dehumanisation that society conditions us to. Where others could see this as an opportunity to serve up an agit-prop anthem, Barron talks to us like a trusted friend, giving the lyrics added impact.

You can listen to Heaven’s Right Here, which was released on the 23rd of July, on all major music platforms, including Spotify and Bandcamp. You can catch up with Sara Marie Barron – who also writes for Audiofemme – on Instagram.
