Don Caballero - What Burns Never Returns LP (25th anniv. yellow vinyl)

"Yet another testament of pure musical genius from the wizards of Don Caballero. This album - probably their greatest effort to date and a keystone instrumental album - will make musicians stand open-mouthed in absolute amazement, wondering just how such music is written. " - Allmusic. Com "As the purveyor of brainy, muscular instrumental rock, Don Caballero spent most of it's early years labeled the "Geeks from Pittsburgh who don't sing. " Now that the rest of the indie-rock world has warmed up to instrumental rock (see the popularity of Tortoise, et al. ), Don Caballero reemerges from hiatus with it's third full-length, What Burns Never Returns. Staying ahead of the learning curve, the band employs little of the muscle that marked it's earlier efforts, instead adopting a more highbrow, abstract approach to it's music making. The band is not improvising per se, but creating meticulously arranged, post-Kind Crimson-like songs that attack odd time signatures. Stunning in it's acrobatic musicianship, intriguing in it's relentless experimentalism, What Burns... is indeed a welcome return. " - Tad Hendrickson, CMJ New Music Report, 1998
