Burntwood

Burntwood combine inventive songwriting with expansive atmospherics. They incorporate elements of post-rock, americana and alternative. The London four-piece are set to release their debut record in 2024. The album will explore the melding of modern technology, nature and relationships through dreamlike soundscapes, driving beats and intertwined vocal lines.

Evoking Wilco, Pixies and The Replacements, big melodies lie at the heart of the songs. With songwriting shared between Chris Hornsby (Lead vocals and guitar), Simon Shippey (vocals, guitar and keys) and Tim Thackray (vocals, bass), there’s an eclectic energy to their output, which flexes from raucous 3-minute numbers to more expansive, immersive explorations. Completed by drummer John Singh, Burntwood has shaped their live set on the London circuit in the past 12 months ahead of unveiling new music.
