I like Ernest Jenning’s taste. They’ve signed my homeboy Chris Mills, are pushing O’death onto an unsuspecting public and now they’ve signed and will soon release the solo record from ex-Occasion drummer Charlie Burst. His brawny singer-songwriter style is usually not my style, but I’ll take EJ’s word that this will be a good release. The new record and Charlie’s debut doesn’t have a release date yet but is titled Come Home and Feast.
The first song released is called “Bars”. Charlie Burst has a strange vocal presence (almost spooky, like Bela Lugosi in Dracula or something), the organ helps cement the ghoulish sound and the ambivalent lyrics leave the song open for repeat listens.
