Burnt Ones aren't new to the journey and they've come to a place on "You'll Never Walk Alone" where only trailblazers shall pass. From the first guitar notes leads a strong verbal provocation, calling bullshit on the complacency of the oft-trad R&R set in these times and urging us to now spread the new gospel. That now is 2013 and that new gospel informs us that the salad days of S.F.'s garage rock revival are over. In its wake, resulting sounds have split and splintered for the better and Burnt Ones' current offering is no exception. Their second LP calls to mind the American heritage of rambling seekers kicking about a new idea with an old set of tools - affirming that its what you make of it and how far you take it that counts. Taking it far, far out there, the themes of isolation, loneliness, and survival found therein reveal the growth of this three piece, having learned that moving inward is often the only way of moving onward. With blinders up, Burnt Ones have given us a record that white-knuckles down a dark passage of mental abuse and on through to spiritual release. Unencumbered by the fear of new frontiers, the band have extended a hand to the listener, urging us to forge ahead, to diverge from the two-lane blacktop, break from the grids of any map and speed off into the void." -Francie Clod
