BLACKCARBURNING Divide Us

Detailný popis:

When Mark Hockings (mesh) started Blackcarburning he was looking forward to change things up a bit. One thing was clear right from the start. He wanted to bring in his tribe of friends and hand over the microphone every so often so he could focus on writing catchy pop tunes. The Opener "Divide Us" is a fantastic collaboration with Mari Kattman (of Helix with Tom Shear of Assemblage 23) a formidable artist in her own right. Together they created an intimate, exciting and uplifting pop gem. John Fryer's impeccable production gives "Divide Us" the shimmering glamour that makes you want to hit the repeat button time and time again. But in case you missed Mark's silky vocal delivery on the title track rejoice, because he makes up for it with "Lies and Romance" as well as "Hive". "Lies and Romance" is a beautifully dis- jointed and introverted song that should feel familiar to anyone who ever had their heart broken in a million pieces. "Hive" is up close and personal with chorus that opens up the track like a beam of light punching through a dark sky. The EP closes out with the playful "The Grace of Heavy Lifting".
