Bartees Strange on World Cafe

Friday, April 18th, 2025

As a kid, Bartees Strange would watch scary movies in an attempt to conquer fear. On his new album, Horror, the Baltimore-based musician embraces the many facets of that emotion. Bartees Strange joins us on the next World Cafe to talk about crafting Horror, from working with Jack Antonoff, to writing about stability and being a Black musician in the predominantly white indie-rock sphere.
