Love, Burns is Phil Sutton, founding member of indie pop legends Comet Gain, once also of Velocette and Kicker, and recently lead singer and songwriter for Brooklyn group Pale Lights. Brooklyn resident, extracted from London, England in 2007, Phil Sutton has also played with more groups over the years, including The Projects, Cinema, Red and Blue, and The Soft City. By day, Sutton is a librarian at The New York Public Library.
Pavement Drawings is his third album as Love, Burns, and the band on these recordings are Sutton, Kyle Forester (Crystal Stilts, The Ladybug Transistor and solo) on bass, guitar and keyboards, Hannes Mueller (The BVs, once Jetstream Pony) on drums and percussion and Jo Roman (Starcleaner Reunion, and also with Lightheaded, Betty Brite) on vocals, joined by Alicia Jeanine (Jeanines) on violin, for the duet with Jo, 'Love is Like Semaphore'.
Pavement Drawings is an album for the Spring. Just a taster, 'Goodnight, Charlie' is a pop song with a Teenage Fanclub-feel in the verse, stomper in the chorus. 'One More Night in the Park' is a Creation era Felt meets Yo La Tengo pop song. 'Wallflower' is a classic bitter-sweet indie pop song with a hook. 'Love is Like Semaphore' is an indie Baroque pop duet with Jo Roman. 'Baby, Don't Look Away' is a guitar pop attack on apathy. Also included on this album are alternative versions of July '25's smash hits 'Dear Carol' (classic Comet Gain-style pissed off duet) and 'Drawn Together', this time with Jo Roman sharing vocal duties with Sutton.
