Tracklist and pre-order info here.
The album marks a major new chapter for Inspiral Carpets following a period shaped
by loss, reflection and renewal. An extended hiatus left the future of the band uncertain, and the return to writing and recording became something deeper than simply making another record.
The record marks the return of original frontman Stephen Holt, whose rejoining
of the band reconnect the band with their earliest creative identity while opening
the door to an entirely new era.
The Carpets approached Burn Like The Sun determined to create something fresh, relevant and emotionally honest – a record that acknowledges their history without being defined by it.”
TUTV: Another example of a band that doesn’t want to spend their days on the couch yet, looking to the telly all the time. Nope, forward is the direction with renewned energy and inspiral tunes.
