It’s 2013 and 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‘ new offering, You’ll Never Walk Alone, is no exception. Their second LP, out April 30th on Burger Records, calls to mind the American heritage of rambling seekers kicking about a new idea with an old set of tools – affirming that it’s 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. Listen to “Fountain Of Youth,”
