"somehow I always get away..."
From the Netherlands based Burght, their divergently shining "Bright New", from their recently released second EP "Super Variation", feels a bit like a spiraling down through a fever dream. The sounds are bent, the vocal aesthetic verging on the edge of dissonance in spots. The deeper you fall and you are into a full fledged nightmare of artful whimsy with surprising stabs of sound befitting of a Tim Burton animated otherworld and a 50's musical as sound tracked by an amalgam of Oingo Boingo, Wall of Voodoo, Kraftwerk and Brian Wilson.

Born within walking distance of each other, it seems like these guys were made to make music together. But somehow it took years for them to figure this out themselves...
Luckily they finally did come to their senses at some point. Because, whether you like it or not, their music really is something else...
Burght is a pop group that makes eclectic pop music. Alternative, but in an unconventional way. They always start with the intention to finally write that perfect pop song, with that perfect pop song structure and that perfect radio friendly sound.
They have yet to succeed.
Somehow the music always seems to take them somewhere else. From melancholy reveries to fierce chaotic eruptions. From sunlit grooves to dark whipping synths. As it turns out, this four headed collective is no stranger to metric modulations and odd time signatures.
Every song is a trip. Some good, some bad. It’s up to you to judge which is which.
Just as it’s up to you to decide which trip you like better...
As adventurous as their music is, it all still sounds strangely coherent. Every song is unmistakably Burght.
Inspired both by modern pop-culture and french underground writers from the seventies, the lyrics often paint a mood that’s not necessarily in sync with the music. A nihilistic desperation is accompanied with feel good vibes. An unexpected encounter with a loved one is framed with dissonant guitars.
If you’re wondering what a collaboration of Tame Impala, Mac DeMarco and Suuns would sound like, you might like what these Burght boys have been cooking up.
According to Burght themselves the music is best to be listened to at dusk or dawn, or (as a close second) somewhere in between. According to us, you should just pull down the lights, make yourself comfortable and absorb the sounds.
They’ve just released their second EP “Super Variation” on the 9th of july.
You can also listen to their single “Somebody Got More”, which, as they will proudly tell you, is probably the closest they will ever get to that perfect pop song we’ve been talking about...
Available on all music platforms.
Burght, indie rock, divergent rock, post punk, experimental tones, lounge punk, art rock, EP "Super Variation", "Bright New" single, The Netherlands,
Burght say they are inspired by "both by modern pop-culture and French underground writers from the seventies" and I thoroughly believe them. Their music are surprising boxes to be opened in the still of the night or in that semi-surreal period between being asleep and awake.
