Anton Barbeau

Anton Barbeau is a Sacramento-born, Berlin-based psychedelic pop maverick who’s been crafting weirdly wonderful tunes since the ’90s. Known for his knack for blending hooky melodies with leftfield quirks, this prolific songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has released a mind-bending stack of albums (seriously, we lost count after 30) that dance between acid-laced power pop, synth-driven experimentation, and clever lyrical twists. Recent releases like *Glitch Wizard* and *Dogstar* show he’s still firing on all creative cylinders, while his *Caveman Remake* tracks prove he’s not afraid to re-cook his own retro-futuristic stew.

Barbeau’s built a cult following through collaborations with psych-rock royalty like Robyn Hitchcock and members of XTC, plus his live shows walk the perfect tightrope between tight songcraft and delightful chaos. Whether he’s channeling Bowie-esque glam drama or serving up homemade bedroom-pop charm, Anton keeps things gloriously unpredictable—a true lifer in the world of beautifully oddball music.
