1. The heroes of the young pop
The year 1977. In Memphis, a rookie group, the Scruffs , surprises with a catchy album full of hits that ennobles the power-pop style and turns since its creation in a cult classic, Want ' Meet The Scruffs? The group's leader, Stephen Burns , vented his neurosis teen songs about insecurities, depressions, disappointments, with the strength of a spirited choruses and a guitar without complications and with a sound heavily influenced exiquisito the pop of Big Star , also of Memphis, and gliding of the Byrds . The distinctive voice of Burns, between crisp, sensual and addictive, irresistible shapes songs as "Break The Ice", "Frozen Girls" or "I've Got A Way", popping amphetamines, hormones, enthusiastic, with moments of introversion and melancholy in "My Mind", "I'm a Failure" or "Bedtime Stories." The result: a devastating cocktail that has become one of those essential moments of pop, one of the disks with more personality and charisma that can be heard, and also the milestone that got passed into history as a cult. But was it just leave it here? 
Absolutely. And to prove it is not necessary to go forward, but backwards. Angst , published in 1997, reflects the pre-drive models, the Scruffs (Burns often alone in the studio, handling all the instruments) recorded between 1974 and 1976, with most songs. A careful listen reveals at least enough material for another masterpiece of the same height and spirit Want to 'Meet , presented in versions with a sound bare necessarily primitive. For example, "Anything" is a clear water lake, a single lost the Byrds played as if they were in the sixties, and "Number One" pays tribute to his admired uninhibited Big Star, with a surprising maturity and craftsmanship overwhelming. The ability of Burns to the tunes of silk is also evident in gems like "I Remember", out of a summer already behind, and its exciting concept of power-pop is reflected in the cool, desacomplejada "Those Girls." His affiliation with the principles of Chilton Bell and clear in the wonder that is "So You Want To Be a Big Star", which incidentally also serves to explain the sound of Teenage Fanclub . And to finish the cake, including early versions of some of the legends that later appear in Want to 'Meet ("Tragedy" and "Revenge"). Possibly the best album of demos that were never recorded.
Despite its quality, Want to 'Meet The Scruffs? -ya soon gained recognition and commercial success, and say the group, discouraged, ended up separating in 1981. However, they had had time to record another album in 1978: Teenage Gurls . The ineffectiveness of the label and the breaking of this record led group remained unpublished until 1998. All too bad, considering that Teenage Gurls is a machine of hits, a creative effort to get a disc Burns made exclusively from powerful singles, ignoring for once those exquisite moments of sweetness and melancholy sound. To be published when it was recorded, most likely not have done it much attention, and yet poorly known songs like "At The Movies", from which depth mark their helplessness, "" Edge of Disaster "and" Breakdown "-rescued from the valuable sessions Angst and cousin of the previous record-were detained for years in a drawer. Teenage Gurls can be seen as an album of pure power pop and orthodox, which are polished personal qualities of Burns are just some of his teen-desert of despair to stick in a standard way to gender, but not down the bar for quality. In short, the more canonical disk at a particularly suitable for the style ( Nick Lowe, The Knack and Elvis Costello also around), and twenty years later would not have a chance.
2. Start the pilgrimage. Stephen Burns, author of vinyl lost
The commercial failure, the dispersion of the group and the vicissitudes of life make the post leaves Burns discs. Still, it is unable to stop writing songs and occasionally come to the studio to record them. Later, he begins to engage in business, marry and then leave even these recordings. The testimony of this break from the breakdown of Scruffs and removal of Burns in the world of music is Midtwon not published until 1998. The songs have a special collecting and exciting intimate tone, again, most of the time Burns was alone in the studio-sound and home in close proximity, a proximity which, combined with an innate talent for melody and the chorus, make a disk Midtown warm, emotionally intense, as if we put ourselves in the shoes of Burns recorded in their free time and without much hope that all this came out once the light. Something we breathe and from the first song, "Things Are Green", so sincere melting, a burst of spring and a pure honesty Burns departs from the church's power pop to get ever closer to pop the author, despite to the Scruffs hits to sprout like mushrooms ("When Donna Romances" is delicious). "Obssession" looks like a secret pop landmark, Burns is an expert braiding refined celestial choirs choruses displayed at the right time. And of eternal hymns like "Swimming Pool" or directly sweeping moments ("Emotional Gravity: made to fall at his feet and be caressed by her, Alex Chilton of the first level and dreams of a summer not lived), along with energy pills sharp hook ("Looks Like Love Is Missing"), the songs are falling as a personal gift that we can not deny ourselves. Without doubt, taking into account the time they were recorded, the album more endearing and welcoming the Scruffs.
However, the music world that is not in fashion can be extremely cruel, and as we have explained, Burns stopped recording for many years, during which Want to 'Meet was brewing as the cult classic, which made some people question the group had recorded those wonderful songs. In 1990 Burns moved to the south of France, a place that would inspire future topics, to return years later to the United States, in this case to New Orleans, where he continued engaging in business. His years of drought ended with a sharp event: Burns suffered a stroke in 1995 that the worst type almost to death, but which came out unscathed after a six-month recovery. Since then, he regained the enthusiasm and energy enough to record more albums.
3. Free flight of the Scruffs
Scruffs The resurrection of the decision begins with a somewhat contradictory: Burns recorded his new songs under the name of 45 Messenger, and the album, Signs & Symbols , appears in 1997. Conceived much more sensitivity than previous sound as if he wanted to further their reflective side, exquisite ballads in which time stops, Signs & Symbols is a hard introspective melody with service longing and languor. The first song, "Signs & Symbols "is a clue to what follows, the chorus of a evoltorio always given to the thoughts in a house by the river, the frenetic absorbed by a mature teenager who will stop at the detail and transformed neurosis melancholy. In this sense, "Cloudy Moon" is my favorite feature to Burns ballad here is better than ever, including violin, acoustic guitar and soul spider especially pained voice, up to a very human Burns itself.
Another classic album is "Back From The Grave", a return from the grave of special significance to the author, most simple and naked impossible, the ultimate hero face young adult. Of course, the house brand choruses are always there and "The Ruin Of Me" is perhaps the best example, with some taste to Roy Orbison leaving an incredible taste, and no need to step outside the anthem time, the ethereal and luminous "Wild Skies." Special mention should be "Abiquiu", an amazing epic in which a gentle ballad leads to a nightmare of trumpets and guitars while Burns hypnotic singing from another dimension. Fascinating. Moreover, the fact that it is the end of the disk (before a brief reprise of "Signs & Symbols") gives a dramatic effect to the whole and, if possible, an deeper.
Burns's return not only brought about a great album that strayed from what he had done before, but the repetition of the previous models to Want to 'Meet of Teenage Gurls and all the material collected Midtown . On the other hand, Burns, the Scruffs aware that they were a bygone era, but actually had to do with his own creative development, regretted having changed its name to this album and you're thinking of republishing as Back From The Grave and place, this time on behalf of the Scruffs.
4. The Scottish crossroads
After Signs & Symbols, Burns took careful note of the advice of Alex Chilton to visit Scotland. And there he met a host of sensitive open pop groups such as Teenage Fanclub and Belle and Sebastian , that she also started from a complete admiration for Big Star, the Byrds and the Beatles , which influenced him Time to clean up its sound and to accentuate its nuances sixties. With Francis McDonald of Teenage Fanclub on drums, and the help of Norman Blake some guitars, the resulting disc, Love (2001), and Scottish sounds extremely clean. The guitar transparent, clear vocals and great pop melodies make this book the disc more "contemporary" and accessible.
Burns's style is unmistakable, but the transparency of its production makes it stand out more clearly its influence and that is why, oddly enough, remember much Teenage Fanclub, who drink from the same sounds. Love is a beautiful masterpiece, there is no other way to define it, a bunch of hits that barely spoke incomprehensibly. "You Can not See Your Way Clear For" is amazing demolition is a classic in the sixties and reached the new millennium, a synthesis of influences clearly Byrds (It seems in fact a single own), Big Star and Teenage Fanclub: all follow the same path. And in "Your Heart", Burns casts a spell to meet his self-seventies, because this song would be perfectly in Want to 'Meet , comes from there, got lost in the mind of Burns and recovered from the bottom a dream. We find a lot more cherries, including to cite "A Girl Can Make You Cry", one of my favorites, full of sadness infectious with a subtle aroma of steel guitar that makes it more original. But let us, "We Will Not Speak Of Love" is wonderful, it sounds like when Teenage Fanclub become very Scottish (including folk instruments) between traditional song and single of pop. "Canyon Girls" is a paradigm of smart pop and classical, and "I Will Be The Lonely One" shows us one of those moments of anxious thoughts between violins and beautiful melodies, something that Burns is a teacher. Scottish
Crossroads, the junction of the tenets of the caste Scruffs with the teachings of Teenage Fanclub, resulted in a huge platter, passionate and exciting. Burns took a step forward in its own legend and finally reached the perfection of its primal sound with another splendid collection of songs. For this reason, it was necessary to go further without losing its essence, expand the range of colors. Then see what was the way he chose to renew the wise Scruffs.
5. Swingin 'Singles . Listening to records of the Zombies
With fixed residence in Glasgow, the itinerant Burns poses a disk that keeps the musical parameters until then but also adds greater sophistication. And it includes influences from the best of chamber pop, looking at groups like Left Banke, the Zombies or Billy Nichols, but now somewhat contained. Swingin 'Singles (2003) is an album halfway between its mark and a spring classic Scruffs refined and virtuous in terms of composition. There are still hits with his trademark, the most powerful show is "World's Most Negative Guy", how appropriate the song title for a charming and smooth as silk though its power guitar, but also "Lovin '& Lyin' Game "that no remedy like fans Want to 'Meet . The anger continues to spread in "Sugar" pure rage pop, heartfelt ballads have their piece of the pie in "You Are Wrong (I Am Right)" and there are clear echoes of McCartney, Pete Dello and even Wake up Nick Lowe in the fraternal feelings "LA Snow." Without losing sight of course, a great song that seems to result from the influence of Teenage Fanclub, "Yesterday Girl Gone", sublime choirs, rejuvenated tunes of the best moments of Want to 'Meet and us with his mouth open.
But of course, Swingin 'Singles is much more than that, thanks to its explosive, imaginative pop side that is already a landslide with "Carey," a single that could have recorded the Move of " Blackberry Way ", or expert handlers of sugar in adequate doses were Tommy James & The Shondells . Further evidence of this new perception of pop are the heady "Stars" that falls as snow, a postcard size to pat thousand senses, and also "Will I Love You?" which begins with a warm blanket of violins to approach the glorious effrontery Del Shannon in their psychedelic albums late sixties.
Thus, guitars, power pop choruses guerrillas and string arrangements, melodies carved contemplation and spirit. Swingin 'Singles offers much and very good, and it is the gateway to the next bravado of a Burns willing to give another twist without betraying himself. The mystery was cleared in 2006, on disk better known than Want to 'Meet and the last to date.
6. The Sgt Pepper of Scruffs
no better way to define it. In Pop Manifesto, wonderful title for one of the most accurate and unknown snipers pop from the seventies, Burns check the rest and surrenders completely to the area and wrapping delicate orchestral arrangements which already had entered briefly in previous albums. Pop Manifesto disk is more care and sensitivity of the Scruffs, a work that clearly opts to follow the footsteps of those titans in the sixties offered to pop a series of moments unforgettable of Pet Sounds Beach Boys ; Walk Away Renee / Pretty Ballerina Left Banke of , the world of intimate feelings and Pete Dello Honeybus , cellophane, trumpets, strings, everything is updated service of one of the most important albums of the decade.
"There's A Girl I Know" starts the disc without complex, appealing to the destructive force of the wall of sound Phil Spector to give us a gold bar, the voice of Burns plying multiple brightness sound and adapting to them with an astonishing naturalness. We flew on top thanks to Swann, his crystalline keyboards and immediacy of working magnetic chorus. Always comes a time when Burns opened his chest and a defenseless, here is "Do You Got There", with a hint country that still makes emotional confessions. The Byrds reappear in the pluperfect "3 Girls", twelve strings weaving beautiful melodies between vocal harmonies. Of course there are more, "September's Lost" is the lighter hit, pop the top author, sensual melodies surrounded by strings and wind. Impressive, but look at the delicacy of "Karrie Anne" (you sure is not the discarding of Odessey & Oracle? ) or the inevitable outbreak of Scruffs "Situation Critical." The sixties flower from the past in full glory with "The Test" and its chorus for the jugular, as in the optimistic and bright "Stay Shelilah" or tone of medieval folklore "Your Eyes Shine" (another sign identity of chamber pop.) And also watch the magnificent and dreamy "Be A Dream", a recreation of Lennon of the early seventies he recorded with Spector singles incredible.
Pop Manifesto is a work rotunda, now the last piece in the puzzle of one of the hidden talents of classic pop, the natural evolution of a devotee of the artless melodies and songs in a pure state. A collection of compositions dressed in gala to be more beautiful than ever. Its impact was somewhat higher than their previous albums, but also remained a world away from what he deserved. The history of the artistic life of Stephen Burns.
7. The constancy of the operator
If there is something inseparable from the career of Stephen Burns is his need to be constantly writing, recording songs apart from the prevailing fashions or the sounds of the moment. Mythical figure of the dark power pop of the seventies, unknown author with a solid career behind him, it is necessary to claim each and every one of their records and identify it as one of the most outstanding musicians the last thirty years. An author who has evolved from the early urgent Want to 'Meet to the classicism of Pop Manifesto, leaving the way some of the best songs that have been made ever.
Apparently, on his new album will refine the forms and deliver a more straightforward pop. Of course, without ever betraying its willingness to give us beautiful songs, deep and addictive and revive the spirit of virgin innocence that embraced the sixties.
