W-S Burn

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010

Simultaneously stark, intense, warm, and involving, the Tennessee-based duo W-S Burn make a special visit to New York to play on Spinning On Air. Steve plays guitar (acoustic and electric), and Pixie sings. She also strings metal and glass chimes from the shade of a floor lamp, which then serves as both illumination and percussion for their performance. W-S Burn have put out a few hand-made, lo-fi CDR releases, but host David Garland wants to give them more exposure, and to see what happens when the duo's sharply focused, highly emotional songs meet up with WNYC's hi-fi microphones.

The Puzzling Music Archive includes free downloads of recordings by W-S Burn.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
