Today, Lauren Ruth Ward struts her 70s psych chops and blends enchanting folk stylings on poignant new track, “Hungry Barber” via Consequence of Sound “Origins” feature. Described by Lauren and longtime collaborator Eduardo Rivera, “Hungry Barber” is “...a departure from our usual sound and process. The main percussive elements were done by tapping and flipping the pages of my songwriting journal. First pass, stream of conscience lyrics about the inner dialogue when chasing the night. Recorded by Eduardo and produced by us both. It's the antithesis of what we songwriters are asked to do: write a 3 minute-ish song, use budget to work with bigger names, hire players, etc. Ed and I wanted to see what it would sound like to create in-house and not think 'what genre are we?' or 'what will the label think?'”
