Charlie Barnes is a long-suffering solo musician who is definitely not writing this artist* bio himself. He’s released four albums over the last 10 years to very modest acclaim, some of which were produced by Oceansize’s Steve Durose and/or released on a minor Sony imprint that no longer actually exists. His latest, ‘The Heart of the Home’, self-released in October 2024, is the best he’ll ever manage. It’s 45 minutes of floating, reflective, feelings-forward music for the elder millennial indie kid. He’s known mainly as having been part of Bastille’s live band for the last decade, most notably as the arranger behind their celebrated MTV Unplugged performance and live album a few years ago. He maintains, however, that his crowning achievement was getting a nod of approval from The Cure’s Robert Smith, who shared Charlie’s cover of their song ‘Alone’ on The Cure’s social media accounts.

*This feels like a bit of a stretch, really.
