Barcode displays all of the usual dynamics and frenetic experimentation of a typical Crimewave track. The overtly shoegaze tinged vocals and guitars of the verse some how give way to even more shrill and fuzzy cacophonies of sound, with thumping kick drums, skeletal percussion and digitally broken riffs.

The lyrical content of the track addresses the struggles of trying to enter an increasingly overcrowded job market into which we are implored to ‘sell ourselves’; a situation that has become all the more prevalent in the aftermath of the pandemic.
