The Miserable Rich have long been fans of the work of the legendary John Barry: it is a compliment indeed to have anyone say your work sounds a bit Barryesque...

Holed-up in a countryside retreat, looking for new sounds and recording a new album, the band heard of John Barry's death and spent a booze and nostalgia-fuelled evening searching YouTube to find the best of the legend's work, sharing their favourite pieces and soundtracks.

Getting together for a jam later that night, they couldn't help but be influenced by the slinky, sexy Barry style, and Anything's Possible was born.

The lyric and title - a long-dead lover trying to rekindle the sexual flames of his past life, using music to get under the skin of his partner left on the other side - was directly influenced by the oft-noted sexual nature of Barry's themes.

Anything's Possible is both a tribute to the much admired maestro and an introduction to a new, bolder sound for T

Anything's Possible

The Miserable Rich are a band who take music fairly seriously, while at the same time finding themselves utterly ridiculous.
Their string-led music makes some people very happy, some very sad, and doesn't seem to have all that much impact on still others again.
Since words are words, and music's music, it's probably best just to have a listen yourself and see which category you find yourself in.
