Dig’s “Barrie” is the track from the new 2022 songs that I keep playing on repeat. I think it’s partially because it sounds a bit Cranberries-esque, but I’m also a sucker for songs that fall down hills, which are those parts that start higher and run down to lower notes repeatedly. It makes me feel like we’re taking little tumbling leaps inside my chest:
