BURNER HERZOG

new album "Random Person" produced by Martin Bisi out via Take a Turn Records.

​

Some nice words:

"Random Person, the new record from Burner Herzog, is an octupus’ garden, an elaborate arrangement of discrete musical elements Leach collected from rock and roll’s seafloor: the extensive instrumentation and wry lyricism of Jim O’Rourke, the overdriven heartbreak of Pavement, the honk and tonk of The Rolling Stones, the guitar spank of The Strokes. Leach manages a casual authenticity despite enormous attention to detail, and borrows extensively from the old to bring forth something new." - White Crate

​

"Random Person is an unpredictable, wonderfully produced yet hook laden recording that will appeal to listeners who enjoy classic/timeless pop song structure alluding to the past yet firing toward the future. Produced by the legendary Martin Bisi at his BC studio confines, the array of instrumentation which includes trombone, pedal steel, bandelero, etc. decorate what is a strong ROCK BOTTOM without overwhelming the proceedings, artfully balancing both the chamber and the amplifier. Upon repeated listenings, the tracks begin to unfold and to my ears, recall the best of O'Rourke and David Berman's most countryfied Drag City output, Crazy Horse, and at times a hint of Guided By Voices here and there. Wonderfully realized and highly recommended." - John J. Mori, Downtown Music Gallery
