GRAVITY FREEZE is Little Barrie’s sixth studio album and the first released solely under the band’s own name since the death of drummer Virgil Howe in September 2017. The album follows more than two decades of activity that have established the band as a key force in UK psychedelic rock and soul.
Following Howe’s passing, bandleader Barrie Cadogan and founding bassist Lewis Wharton placed the future of the band on hold. After initial plans to resume playing were disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the pair began collaborating with long-time friend Malcolm Catto (The Heliocentrics). This partnership resulted in two joint albums: Quatermass Seven (2020) and Electric War, released on Easy Eye Sound in April 2025.
Great little venue. Although they played as if they could have blown a festival stage. Loved their energy. Too bad the crowd was a bit timid... But loved the show, which was almost completely filled tracks from the new album, which is a great addition to their collection as it is more raw and heavy than the previous records. Little Barrie feels a bit more complete but still curious what they'll bring next to the stage! Cheers from Amsterdam Pat
