Album artwork for Manchester Sun by Barton Hartshorn

“An indie-folk Pearl.” — Rolling Stone “A luminous album that confirms Barton’s storytelling and songwriting talent.” — Rock n’ Folk "A remarkable album from a nothing less than remarkable songwriter.” — MAGIC "A heady bouquet driven by inspired storytelling.” — Paris Move "XTC-like flights of fancy, the ironic bite of Elvis Costello, a superb voice and heartfelt storytelling. Barton has the imagination of a novelist and the whole album courses with a subtle folk undertone that makes this a truly singular work.” — Benzinemag "A perfect production that showcases Barton's slightly frayed, crooner-like voice. The album flows like a collection of short stories.” — My Head is a Jukebox "Pure class. Musicians from Stockholm to Marseille would give their right arm and a kidney to produce a masterpiece of this calibre. Barton Hartshorn is a master of his art.” — Songazine

“Singer-songwriter goes back to his roots”…is a common refrain, but rarely is it true in both the figurative and literal sense. Barton’s new album is not only another chapter in a multi-album career; it marks a return to the artist’s indie-folk roots and the country of his birth. Barton Hartshorn has come back to the UK after a wave of critically acclaimed albums in both Europe and America.
