SLOW BURNING CAR präsentieren mit diesem Album sehr interessante Kompositionen. Die Qualität von Projection überzeugt mit sowohl komplexer, äußerst vielschichtiger Musik, die praktisch niemals langweilig wird und immer wieder Neues offenbart, als auch seine Vielseitigkeit. Heftig, soft, aggressiv, romantisch, atmosphärisch, kraftvoll, melodiös, schräg, intensiv…Diese Elemente werden zu einem größeren, vollständigen Ganzen, das wunderbar komplex in seiner Präzision ist, konstruiert. Es wird sowohl mit einer rhythmusorientierten Instrumentalausrüstung, als auch mit akustischen Klängen gearbeitet. Die umwerfende Vokalperformance perfektioniert die sehr gut komponierten Lieder, die ein deutliches Gespür für feine Melodik aufweisen. Der Opener Public Cynic und seine zwei Nachfolger werden dominiert von Dynamik und Rhythmik, so dass man einfach gezwungen wird, seinen Körper im Takt der Musik zu bewegen. Die solide...

SBC – Public Cynic (Single Review) by Noah Penza, Fresh Out of the Booth

Slow Burning Car has released a new single entitled “Public Cynic” from the upcoming album “Projection”. This is a powerful rock meets grunge-metal track. The lead guitar riff is addictive and really drives the momentum and nature of the track. It has a diverse and ever-changing flow that I find very appealing. The drums sustain the momentum built up in the track and accompany the bass and lead perfectly. At the center of this track are the vocals. They paint a vivid narrative for the listener to connect and embrace. This is a highly recommended track and I am looking forward to the upcoming album ‘Projection’.

SBC – Public Cynic (Single Review) by Dave Franklin, Dancing About Architecture

Even before the lyrics kick in you feel as if you have almost got your money’s worth from Slow Burning Car‘s latest release. A solid electric riff, a key change, some chiming acoustic guitar interspersed with emotive spoken word all before the song takes off properly. When it does you are greeted with lyrics which neatly chime with the times. Although I suspect they are aimed at a certain prominent member of US politics, well, the most prominent member, they seem to sum up the entrenched nature of politics which pervades everywhere from the relentless foghorn broadcast of social media to the chaotic policy, or lack of it, coming from a crumbling White House. But regardless of politics, it is...
