Barton Hartshorn grew up in the English village of the same name and spent his childhood listening to folk singers playing in the local clubs. The storytelling nature of these songs were to have a big influence on his own music as he blended it with the sound coming out of the pop and rock scene in the UK.
After three albums fronting the band Dictafone whose last album “Home” was mixed in LA by Ken Scott (Beatles, Bowie, Supertramp, Lou Reed...), Barton returned to his folk roots with a first solo album “Headquarter café”, but it was during a year spent in Australia that,
“I died of boredom & came back as me” began to take shape.
“I had other ideas...” but was never quite sure which one to follow.Semaphore Signal is a journey
through sunlit memories and missed opportunities. A journey where time is condensed, making you feel you’ve grown up in the space of one song. It's a Van Morrison, Dylan-esque odyssey where the violin wraps itself around the vocal and pulls us all forward...
