Buzzbands LA Premieres Cillie Barnes new single "Symmetry;" May Satellite Residency Announced


Cillie Barnes' single "Symmetry "  which premiered on Buzzbands.  The track was recorded at Omaha's ARC studios recorded with Bright Eyes members Nate Walcott and Mike Mogis and will be released as part of a collection of singles titled Friendly Witch due April 30. Pre-order the collection here .

Cillie Barnes told Buzzbands, "I wrote 'Symmetry' as a sort of stream of consciousness ... about this guy who I had a 'Binder-Crush' on for a while," she says. "I call men like this guy 'Binder-Crushes' because they remind me of someone I probably would have had on my binder growing up: one-dimensional, protected by plastic, someone I could carry around and put all my stuff into for awhile, knowing full well there was no way whatsoever for us to exist as a real thing in real life." 

Barnes said she wrote the song " while imagining a "dude coming through in the hazy distance ... made up of licorice and lapis lazulis and silk worms and flannels in the summer."

"...the singer creates music that somehow sounds completely unique and fresh,
but  manages to simultaneously exude familiarity - like a favorite candy you 
can't resist." -  Refinery 29
"Her voice is hauntingly beautiful, distinct, it has this ephemeral quality and almost paradoxical combination of shyness mixed with a unique, persistent individuality." - The Voice Project

"F alls around you like a cloak of magic, rich and duskily beautiful, with shades of St. Vincent in her swaddling tones." - Noisey

"Cillie Barnes is a favorite young female artist, like Lorde level, ya I said it. She has got a
great voice that pairs with some very cool production that bridges electronic pop synths and drums with some rather classic indie/alt-rock vibes." -  The Weekly Flavor
