    Play[s] out like a fresh discovery that's strangely familiar--a '60s soul in a 21st-century outfit.

    We Are Little Barrie is a stunning debut for sure, and the kind of record both old-school classic rock dads and groove-loving young kids should be clambering over each other to buy.

    Fascinatingly oblique songs are plaed with confidence and laid-back precision, rather than smothered by a desperation to impress. [Mar 2005, p.96]

    Barrie's wank-free creedo makes for a bright, poppy debut. [20 May 2005, p.77]

    This is a very promising debut album. I was hooked the first time I heard it. Think of The White Stripes with a touch of funk and extended jams.
