Chicago’s very own garage rock pundits, The Orwells’, most recent endeavour comes in the form of the third new cut to be taken from their upcoming sophomore album ‘Disgraceland’- and boy does it bite.
‘Let it Burn’ is the perfect encapsulation of what The Orwells’ are about. That scuzzy sound that dominated their 2012 debut ‘Remember When’ is assuredly paid homage to on this hard-hitting track. With a heavy yet melodic three chord intro that runs through the entire three minutes or so, making for what I imagine to be an impeccable crowd pleaser- given the masses of festival appearances and tour dates the band are set to play over the next 12 months.
That rough-around-the-edges charm that has become somewhat an Orwells’ trademark has certainly been adhered to on this punchy, riff-ridden track, resonant of late nineties-early noughties grunge pandemonium. Who’d have thought a song about the perils of Gonorrhoea would be so very remarkable?
