The Barr Brothers have been a bit quiet finishing up some music in the studio and today they have revealed some details about their sophomore album. It’s called Sleeping Operator and it’s due out October 7th on Secret City Records. Along with a trailer for the upcoming album (seen below), the band released a set of tour dates to coincide with some already announced appearances (like at Way Over Yonder).

The album was produced by The Barr Brothers and recorded and mixed by Ryan Freeland (Bonnie Raitt, Aimee Mann, Ray Lamontagne) in Montreal and Los Angeles. The band was joined by local neighborhood guests from Arcade Fire (Richard Reed Parry), Patrick Watson’s band, The Luyas, Bassekou Kouyate’s band and Little Scream along the way. Known for their unique orchestrations, the band used a plethora of instruments to embellish this album including a variety of horns, marimba, ngoni (West African stringed instrument), an instrument made by a fan called a cardboardium, hammered dulcimer, and pedal steel to make a sound that is sui generis.
