Slow Burning Car lay on a bed draped with all the trimmings of Grunge and Alt Rock, but there\u2019s plenty in the mix really including a blast of metal, the big riffs of old school Rock and even a little artiness and experimentation for good measure. Indeed there\u2019s a bit of everything in here from Swervedriver, and old-schoolers like Husker Du, Sonic Youth and more.
\nDefiant opener \u2018Public Cynic\u2019 with its rather catchy riff is a powerhouse of Metal driven Grunge with some killer vocals and a great pounding rhythm section driving it on. And the female fronted alternative rockers are clearly on a mission to not only impress you with your musicianship but also send you off on little unexpected journeys.
\nThat indeed is part of he joy here \u2013 it\u2019s not an album that will bore you, rather one that will make you wonder what comes next. Songs like the groovier poppy \u2018Lad-ish Man\u2019 make you think of a guitar fixated B52s; whilst the wonderful part spoken word confession of a ghost in \u2018Memoirs of a Gentleman Ghost\u2019 has a touch of TPOH about it.They are just two standouts amongst a number f great tracks that all seem to have an innate energy.
\nYou can almost hear a touch of Rush in \u2018The Quantum Mariner\u2019 had Rush formed in Seattle in the early 90\u2019s. And when you add the languid and lilting \u2018Seems so Nice\u2019 and the epic soundscape of \u2018Gardens in Space\u2019 which clocks in at over nine minutes, as well as the slow and aptly-titled gentle Greek language \u2018Meraki\u2019 you have an album to remember.
