Burnt Ones aren't new to the journey and they've come to aplace on "You'll Never Walk Alone" where only trailblazers shall pass.From the first guitar notes leads a strong verbal provocation, callingbullshit on the complacency of the oft-trad R&R set in these times andurging us to now spread the new gospel.
That now is 2013 and that new gospel informs us that the salad days ofS.F.'s garage rock revival are over. In its wake, resulting soundshave split and splintered for the better and Burnt Ones' currentoffering is no exception.
Their second LP calls to mind the Americanheritage of rambling seekers kicking about a new idea with an old setof tools - affirming that its what you make of it and how far you takeit that counts. Taking it far, far out there, the themes of isolation,loneliness, and survival found therein reveal the growth of this threepiece, having learned that moving inward is often the only way ofmoving onward.
With blinders up, Burnt Ones have given us a recordthat white-knuckles down a dark passage of mental abuse and on throughto spiritual release. Unencumbered by the fear of new frontiers, theband have extended a hand to the listener, urging us to forge ahead,to diverge from the two-lane blacktop, break from the grids of any mapand speed off into the void.
