Putting the needle back on to the turntable for the fourth consecutive time, ‘Burn Faster_’, the first track from Nine Black Alps’ second album, is still (in)distinctly unmemorable.
A mere slip of a song, ‘Burn Faster_’ is both anaemic and hookless; an uneasy amalgam of indie rock and the post-grunge kafuffle they were lamented or lauded for in the first place, depending on which side of the rock fence you sat on.
By the time the middle eight / outro grinds in, there seems so very little point, and still, there’s nothing to remember…
