about

Teds third solo album ‘Portal Nou’ was written during a period of living on the Kent Coast. Inspired by the birth of his son, it marked a new phase in his personal and musical life.
Although displaying some of the haunting characteristics of his previous work, the album is more optimistic in nature, ‘Portal Nou’ being Spanish for “new gateway”.
Alongside instrumental tracks are guest vocalists Dan Michaelson, Gavin Clark, Beth Orton, Kathryn Williams and Francoiz Breut.
Portal Nou was mixed by Sebastian Rogers and released on Mornington Records in 2008

“The whole thing is just impossibly sad and beautiful and romantic and doomed” WORD
“Displays his gift for sound tracking films yet to be dreamed up” SUBBA-CULTCA.COM
“Barnes is something of a British M. Ward – with all the loveliness that suggests” THE TIMES
