Yet another testament of pure musical genius from the wizards of
Don Caballero. This album -- probably their greatest effort to date and a keystone instrumental album -- will make musicians stand open-mouthed in absolute amazement, wondering just how such music is written. Insane rhythms change time and key without a second thought -- beautiful, off-time, yet somehow interlocking notes and melodies fill the ears in a barrage of panicked sound. At one minute dreamy, soothing and thought-expanding, at another spastic and mind-pounding.
What Burns Never Returns is definitely something that has to be heard to be believed -- and it could most definitely alter the way you think about music forever. ~ Blake Butler
