Mutual Isolation by Burnt Belief

Burnt Belief
Mutual Isolation

A study in universal understanding and global connection.

Burnt Belief have always been difficult to categorise, incorporating improvisation around strong thematic compositions, ambient textural atmospherics, subtle electronics and elements of progressive and jazz/rock blended with an intriguing undercurrent drawn from more ethnic traditions. Falling in the cracks of established genres, yet showcasing a remarkable ongoing core musical chemistry and defiantly it’s “own thing”, Burnt Belief is instantly recognisable to those who know.

As with many other musical collaborations, the Covid19 pandemic rendered previously planned live and studio activity a total impossibility. However, a solid “distance working method” sharpened by three previous Burnt Belief albums has led to the remarkably natural and live sounding new album “Mutual Isolation”.

Guitarist Jon Durant brings a unique sense of texture and melody to his instrument. His distinctive “cloud guitar” soundscapes and engaging lead work have graced numerous CD recordings and film soundtracks. Collaborators include Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel), Vinny Sabatino, Jerry Leake, Cartn Lin, Ray Greene (Tower of Power) and many others.
