‘Devil in tears / wish I could take it’
Human Barbie is a heavily psych-tinted, LA-based bedroom pop project, started by songwriter Christopher Leopold in 2018. He makes nostalgic and dreamy tunes with 90s shoegaze atmospherics. There is a distinctive warmth to new single ‘Slow Down’, which is a glowingly positive reflection on the purity and quiet reward of artistry. It is important to take a moment and think about how precious it is to channel life through songs – no matter if they are heard by a few or a few thousand.
About the artist – ‘Human Barbie is an analog fantasy; a whispering alchemy of golden sunsets and midnight vinyl. Formed in 2018 by songwriter Christopher Leopold, Human Barbie spins threads of wistful pop, shoegaze, and psychedelia to create a melancholy glowscape, both colorful and intoxicating…’
