Brendan Fowler will release Summary-- his latest album under the BARR moniker-- via Kill Rock Stars on February 20. Fowler is currently on tour with the four-piece version of BARR, playing previously reported shows with Marnie Stern.

Upset the Rhythm released Summary in the UK last week, and the label is also in charge of the vinyl release for the world.

BARR will tour in the UK and Europe shortly after they finish their U.S. dates.

The one/four-man band is/are also sharing Summary's "The Song Is the Single", in MP3 and video form. Imagine a wordier Minutemen, and you'll have an idea of the song's aesthetic.
