"So why pick Burning Star Core now after all these years? Aside from the obvious, there's an amazing confluence among Spencer Yeh's own sound that he's been striving at for years and between various facets of an underground noise and improv scene that's virtually bursting at the seams. His music fits a number of certain tastes, be it catering to those raised on the tried and true avant garde-ians of yesteryear to the recent emergence of the post-hardcore set ripe for fresh sounds and new, more abstract and virulent noises. With all the attention being paid to left-field musicians at the left and right of America, now might be the time to head towards the heartland, and some of the seeds planted in Cincinnati courtesy of Burning Star Core." - Michael Crumsho |
