Great Circular O by Burning Buildings

Strident keyboards, crackling vocals and laid-back drums jostle for your attention during the first two minutes of this excellent new track from Manchester three-piece Burning Buildings, succinctly described by the TLOBF as emoting ‘Great Eastern-era Delgados’. It then descends into an unexpectedly jaunty, Hot Club de Paris style outro, albeit with heavier guitars. This writer would’ve preferred a little more of the former, but it’s impressive stuff nonetheless. More please! Download their new EP, The Sleep Tapes, for free via their Bandcamp page.
