Burning Sister

Now operating as a bass and drum duo for the first time since 2019 when the band was merely a seed of an idea, Denver, Colorado’s Burning Sister are set to unleash their sophomore full-length, ‘Ghosts.’ Since much of the material found on ‘Ghosts’ was initially conceived with a three-piece in mind, the band was tasked with reconceptualizing their approach to songwriting and performance. Despite the challenges and limitations of a two-piece configuration, Burning Sister looked to other pioneering duos for technical inspiration such as godheadSilo, Big Business, and Royal Blood. With a formidable arsenal of bass and guitar amps chosen for their potentiality and tone, an array of effects pedals and ABY boxes, the band was able to embrace and exceed their limitations. At its heart, the sound of ‘Ghosts’ delves deeper into the narcotizing haze hinted at on ‘Mile High Downer Rock’—the same haze occupied by space rock veterans Bardo Pond or John McBain-era Monster Magnet. The band’s affinity for doom, noise rock, shoegaze and classic rock heavily informs the six tracks that comprise ‘Ghosts’ as does the repetition-as-psychedelia of “trance rock” greats Loop and Spacemen 3. Burning Sister continues to refine and push their brand of psychedelic downer rock into new and varied dimensions.

“Dead Love” was the first track written specifically with a two-piece in mind and was initially conceived as a drone or trance rock type tune that was pretty minimalistic in nature. As we confronted the limitations of being a bass-and-drum duo we further explored the tones and textures at our disposal and really began to hone in on the sound that would inform the rest of the songs that would eventually make up our upcoming album, ‘Ghosts.’ It didn’t take long for our love of classic rock, doom, and noise rock to transform “Dead Love” into what we consider a lynchpin of the album and the song that made us realize that there are worlds and dimensions of sound to explore as a duo both live and in the studio… -Steve Miller
