AP Track Review
Spiritbox, a 5 man indie alternative rock band from the Netherlands (with trippy psyche folk / rock leanings) were commissioned by the Dutch Cultural Heritage Platform to create a song and accompanying video inspired by their region's cultural history. Meet, The Burner via a mysterious and gothic looking bit of animation told in a black coal scratched style revealing the white imagery beneath. The sounds are raw, yet elegantly wrought with stalking bass lines, acoustic strains, sustaining lead lines snaking around an evocative lead vocal telling stories like a carnival provocateur.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
Last summer Dutch indie rock outfit SPIRITBOX was commissioned by the Dutch Cultural Heritage Platform to create a song + video inspired by their region's cultural history. Result is the Devilish tale of 'The Burner'. This will be the last SPIRITBOX single to be put out this year and it is their most ambitious track yet.
With its cinematic narrative, hand drawn music video and inclusion of children's voices, it firmly expands the band's exploration of the other-wordly by melding menacing post-rock to resonant storytelling.
