"'Red Moth Solar Companion' is a live, instrumental, off-the-floor improvisation that musically describes a patient journey through the heart of a star," stated Brad Barr. "'Saint Cecilia' has hints of Blonde On Blonde, it's the pantomime of an experienced but misguided wayfarer who is fixated on the promise of redemption through Saint Cecilia, the patroness of musicians."
Queens of the Breakers was released on October 13th, 2017 to rave reviews across the board. Q Magazine, MOJO, Uncut, Exclaim!, BBC, Rolling Stone France, Le Soleil, Voir and countless others praised the third album.

The Barr Brothers returned to play on CBS 'This Morning Saturday', KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic, KEXP, France Inter 'Le Nouveau Rendez-Vous' to name only a few. The album received a 2019 JUNO nomination (Adult Alternative Album of the Year), was on the Polaris Music Prize 2018 Long List and received five nominations at the 2018 ADISQ Awards winning in the category Anglophone concert of the Year.
