As with his previous acclaimed "Red Morning" album, "Zodiac" has again been produced by David Long, with musicians including Long, Craig Terris on drums, Jules Desmond on bass, fellow Warratah Nik Brown on violin and backing vocals from Samuel Flynn Scott and Caroline Easther. The album was recorded at Trident Studios in Wellington.

"Originally it was to be four songs toward a ‘best of’ album, but the baby started to grow and we ended up with a new album." says Barry. "I loved the raw feel of the band and once again felt like the songs were moving somewhere. I have a version of The Phoenix Foundation’s Going Fishing. I love the lyrics and have turned it into pretty much a country ballad. I played piano for the first time on this album, also played quite a lot of electric guitar. The album has a good played feel to it and I’m looking forward to taking these songs out for a ride."

Zodiac tracklisting is:

Here Comes Tomorrow
Still No Word From You
Going Fishing
To Roberta
Dark Star
Fade
Start Up Again
All Day Bay
Do You Believe? (Dark Horizons)
Walking New Year

First single from the album will be "Here Comes Tomorrow". To see the recently completed video directed by Wellington filmmaker Colin Hodson please click here.
