Burton Badman are not reinventing the wheel. They are perfecting it. Drenched in a charming alternative rock livery, the group’s latest effort ‘No Way Out’ is catchy, memorable and intriguing, shining a light on the songwriting qualities enjoyed by the Tel Aviv-based outfit. Burton Badman are, in fact, great writers; the alchemy between their verses and choruses makes for maximum impact, implementing a mechanism of tension and release that’s a joy to listen to.
Their first release since the 2022 album ‘The Opposite Way Around’, ‘No Way Out’ picks up exactly where they left off, signalling us the evergreen quality attached to their creativity. Lyrically, the song mirrors its gloomy character, telling a tale of resilience and intricacies very familiar with our troubled times. Exploring the many ways humans deal with difficult emotions, ‘No Way Out’ puts all those feelings on a tape, for permanent memory.
As the group so eloquently explains: “A determined, uncompromising rock dive inside, into the soul: looking paralyzing fear and distress in the eye calling out to rise, to shake off each listener’s paralysis and helplessness and to act.” If you resonate with the message even just a tiny bit, give the record a try – you won’t regret it.
