History Triple Burner

Triple Burner’s roots trace to Harris Newman’s debut solo album, 2003’s Non-Sequiturs [Strange Attractors Audio House]. Bruce Cawdron appeared on several tracks, adding a palette of percussive textures to compliment Newman’s meditative acoustic guitar. In the years following, the duo developed their hypnotic, otherworldly sound through recording and performances in various cities throughout the American north-east. Cawdron’s contributions to Newman’s 2005 disc Accidents with Nature and Each Other brilliantly illustrate this growth, and make the perfect launch-point for Triple Burner’s self-titled debut, available May 29th 2006 on Madrona Records in CD and LP format.

Triple Burner’s stripped-down, propulsive sound is an intricate marriage of numerous compositional schools - psychedelic folk, early minimalism, stuttering krautrock, traditional folk songs, Delta blues, and eastern raga all dance and whirl around each other, resulting in familiar yet wholly unique structures. The duo creates a lush, complex universe of sounds with the simplest of means, Newman on guitar and Cawdron on drums, percussion, and glockenspiel, often all at once.
