The Earlies – ‘Burn The Liars’ / ‘Broken Chain’ (679) Released 29/01/07

You know those films that leave you hanging on the edge of your seat till the bitter end, only to find yourself asking when it finishes – “is that it?” This single’s much like that. ‘Burn The Liars’ could be one hell of a damning piano driven stomper that leaves you gagging for more. But, alas, it goes as high as it does low. With snippets of brilliant march alike drumming, tone perfect harmonies and a few samples thrown in for good measure it almost gets there. Wherever there may be… The other A-side ‘Broken Chain’ is a much more relaxed affair that gets a helping hand from some kind of mini orchestra. Hmm.

Weird? Yes. Marvellous? The jury’s still out…
