“Slowburner”, the new single from The Palfreman Collective’s debut record “To Die, To Be Really Dead”, is a powerful and punchy piece of classic rock music that manages to renew itself for today’s audience with a certain pomp and splendour. The entire ensemble of instruments in the arrangement is opulently rich in its fullness, but its precisely that completeness that gives it the punchy and verve to make “Slowburner” such a radical and pacey piece. Despite the name, the tune is anything but a slow burn of a song. It’s fast-paced, raucous, and addictive, built with a solid riff and thundering drums.
A frenzied and bustling instrumental flow makes you jump, headbang, and swerve to the sheer passion and power that this outfit brings to the table. If you’re looking for something new but with an old-school sheen to it, “Slowburner” will have you jiving alongside it ecstatically.
