Doug Burr – White Night Black Light

I am behind on this review, as the full-length is already out. But based on these few songs alone, I need to get the full length. The first track,“White Night, Black Light,” is a Doug Burr going to the next level, mixing in a Wovenhand-ish, Nick Cave-ish sensibility that is still all his own. Things slow down a bit for the somber and beautiful “Visible Noise.” Then Burr goes for an Americana romp on “Never Gonna Be Young Again.” Two songs on the 7-inch, three on the download, and I believe some aren’t on the full length. I love when an artist I already loved takes their craft up a few notches.
