The Burning Hell – People

burning5

The latest from hyperactive pop troubadours is a treat, both for longtime fans or those who are new to the band. Dancefloor ready boppers like “Holidaymakers” and “Amateur Rappers” pick up where 2011’s Flux Capacitor left off, mixing the Burning Hell’s baroque arrangements and Mathias Kom’s incredible lyrical dexterity into textbook cases of weirdo pop magic. Tracks like the lead-off “Grown Ups” and the reimagined Norse saga “Barbarians” see the Burning Hell expanding their trademark sound into new and exciting directions. This album is getting a lot of attention on the college radio circuit, and for good reason. Hopefully the band makes its way to Winnipeg soon, as I can only imagine how the album will be reinvented onstage. Yowza! (Headless Owl/weewerk, wearetheburninghell.com) Sheldon Birnie
