Slow Burning Car<\/strong><\/p>\n

Volume 2 \u2013 The Scattering
\n<\/strong>Trifonic Records
\n<\/strong>Released: 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to start giving awards for pretentiousness in press releases and I would nominate the press release for Slow Burning Car\u2019s album for the first one.\u00a0 Winning it for me was the phrase \u201ccompositional application in the audio realm\u201d had me rolling about the floor laughing. They could just have said that they write songs, couldn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n

However, \u201cVolume 2 \u2013 The Scattering\u201d itself is far from pretentious and, in fact, provides convincing reasons as to why you should investigate American rock music today. This album is indeed full of mainstream riffs but where it really scores is in its stylistic diversions thus providing the listener with a surprisingly coherent stroll through hard rock and associated genres.\u00a0 Just to give a couple of examples, \u201cFirst Class\u201d is positively British with its undercurrents of seventies rock and pop and there were times when I thought I was listening to a Slade cover.\u00a0 \u201cHarum Scarum\u201d, on the other hand, takes a bouncy approach to garage rock and the crosses it with a Brian May style guitar solo played on the bus to Texas.<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of new ideas on this album and likewise no shortage of clearly identifiable influences but what makes it special is the degree of care that has been put into assembling these component parts into a coherent whole.\u00a0 Even better, the musical spirit of the participants hasn\u2019t been compromised in the process making this a rewarding album that you will want to build a long term relationship with. Someone someday is going to hail this album as a classic.<\/p>\n
