His most ambitious and wide-ranging project to date is the follow-up to 2022’s \u003cem\u003eFarm To Table\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBartees Strange was raised on fear. His family used scary stories to teach life lessons, and at an early age, Strange started using scary movies to practice being strong. The world can be a terrifying place, and for a young, queer, black person in rural America, that terror can be visceral. \u003cem\u003eHorror\u003c\/em\u003e is an album about facing those fears and growing to become someone to be feared. Throughout the record, Strange lays down one difficult truth after another, all over a sonic pastiche of music he loved as a kid. His dad hipped him to Parliament Funkadelic, Fleetwood Mac, Teddy Pendergrass, and Neil Young. Those influences merged with Strange’s interest in hip-hop, country, indie rock, and house, culminating in a record that feels completely original. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrange began \u003cem\u003eHorror\u003c\/em\u003e at his home studio with an eye toward production. A session with \u003cstrong\u003eYves\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLawrence Rothman\u003c\/strong\u003e (Yves Tumor, Lady Gaga) provided a rhythmic and sonic backbone for chunks of the record. After Strange met \u003cstrong\u003eJack Antonoff\u003c\/strong\u003e and the pair became fast friends, Strange worked on some material for Antonoff’s band Bleachers, and Antonoff worked on Horror. The twosome finished the record together, working the songs raw, editing, arranging, and dressing them up in clothing bound to inspire fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Bartees Strange:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Ipswich, England to a military father and opera-singer mother, Bartees Strange had a peripatetic childhood before eventually settling in Mustang, Oklahoma.
