TRIBES OF EUROPE & BARBARA STRETCH - SINGLE REVIEW

Tribes of Europe & Barbara Stretch - Burned 
(Integrity Records)

Release Date: 8th September 2023

The slow-burn psychodrama duet that Dusty and Mark Lanegan never wrote; that's what the press blurb says anyway and who could resist that prospect? 'Burned' is the new single from Tribes of Europe & Barbara Stretch, marking the 100th release of Integrity Records, and it absolutely lives up to its own hype. Stretches vocals luxuriate over the heartbroken strings and Duane Eddy guitar notes before she is joined for the chorus by a male voice that evokes the spirit of Roy Orbison. The drums are dramatic, the delay on the vocal is sumptuous and the melodies know their place making this the Lana Del Rey song that she wishes she'd released this decade. Stunning, heartfelt and, most importantly, grandiose - you don't hear enough of that in the music world these days.
