A Direction Home :: Interview with The Burning Hell
The Burning Hell dropped by 2SER studios just before they jumped back on a plane back to Prince Edward Island, Canada. Duo Mathias Kom and Ariel Sharratt performed a couple of exquisite songs, armed with acoustic guitar (lovingly borrowed from Leroy Lee) and bass clarinet. We shot the breeze about falling asleep to the sound of your parents playing music in the kitchen, buried treasure, ocean outfall, creativity, destruction and ruin… and birds.
Their music is described as moving “with heavy rhyme and a light step, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, ever surprising, and even occasionally beautiful world.”
All this talk of impending apocalypse inspired today’s playlist, including a great version of Bowie’s “Five Years” by another Canadian, Mo Kenny. My favourite quote from the interview has to be “…it would be way easier to deal with zombies than what we’re dealing with now.”
