14th May 2012: 4 Star review for Euan Burton from the ‘Scotsman’ on his release date!

Euan Burton has just officially released his debut WWR album today worldwide and has also just hit with a great 4 star review in the Scotsman.  Here’s a reprinting of the article below:

Euan Burton: Occurrences

Whirlwind Recordings

Rating: ****

GLASGOW-BASED bass player Euan Burton’s music on this release comes in the form of a suite intended to build a narrative, although he provides no clues to extraneous content – the seven sections are simply numbered with no descriptive titles, and the listener left to build his or her own interpretation of the “occurrences”. Seven years in the making, the pleasingly melodic music has a refined and subtly crafted feel that speaks of much revision and development, and is carefully structured in tempo and mood in its unfolding sequence within the span of the disc.

Burton has recruited a very fine band for the project, with New York-based saxophonist Will Vinson and Irish guitarist Mark McKnight both making powerful contributions alongside Steve Hamilton’s excellent work on piano and Fender Rhodes. London-based drummer and rising star James Maddren completes a strong unit.
