Burn Burn is the seventh and most recent studio album by Canadian alternative rock band Our Lady Peace.[3] The album's title is based on a quote by Jack Kerouac from his 1957 novel On the Road.
The album, recorded at vocalist Raine Maida's home studio in Los Angeles between 2007 and 2009,[2] was released independent of any major label on July 21, 2009, under the band's longtime management company Coalition Entertainment. Sony Music (the band's previous label) distributed the album in Canada,[1][4] and WMG's Independent Label Group did so in the United States.[1]
Burn Burn is Our Lady Peace's first album not to have involved collaboration with an outside producer, having instead been produced by band vocalist Raine Maida.[4] The album's release marked the longest gap between Our Lady Peace studio albums to date, with their previous album, Healthy in Paranoid Times, having been released in August 2005. At 38 minutes, Burn Burn is also their shortest album.
Album history
"It took us six other records to figure out how we truly wanted to make records."
Production on Burn Burn began in February 2007, several months before the release of bandleader Raine Maida's solo album The Hunter's Lullaby. According to Maida, Burn Burn is a "proper rock album"—featuring a return to the raw originality of the band's first album Naveed, though a "little more mature".[4]
Maida produced the album himself, noting how he was excited to "not have anybody intrude on sessions".[4] The album was completed in early March 2009, a 4-song promo featuring "All You Did...", "Dreamland", "Monkey Brains" and "Paper Moon" was sent to radio stations in June 2009, and the album was released in North America on July 21, 2009.[1]
Additional developments
Having been defunct since 2007, the official Our Lady Peace fansite was relaunched on March 11, 2009 in anticipation of Burn Burn.[6] The album's original cover was revealed with the relaunch,[6] and on May 1 was officially changed to portray a darker and more simplistic tone than the original.[6]
Songs
The album contains 10 tracks of the 14 that were composed[7]—and is approximately 38 minutes in length. Lyrics were mostly written by Raine Maida, and the first track was co-written by Maida and former The Nixons vocalist Zac Maloy.
The official tracklisting for Burn Burn was released in May 2009, but was altered in early June to replace the track "The Right Stuff" with "The End Is Where We Begin".[8] Sequencing of remaining tracks was also affected by the change. A Deluxe Edition of the album is also being released, with bonus tracks "The Right Stuff" and "Time Bomb" included, as well as a bonus DVD with studio performance footage and music videos for All You Did Was Save My Life and bonus track The Right Stuff.
Single chronology
- In April 2009, the music video for Burn Burn's first single, "All You Did Was Save My Life", was filmed in an undisclosed wooded area near Ancaster, Canada. The video features Canadian actor Shenae Grimes, of Degrassi: The Next Generation and 90210 fame.[9] The video was leaked prematurely to Canadian viewers through MSN's website on May 22, and was officially unveiled on the May 25 episode of MuchMusic's Much On Demand. The audio track was released to radio stations and iTunes on May 25 in Canada, and was released on June 9 in the United States.
- Burn Burn's second single is confirmed as being "The End Is Where We Begin" through HMV, but no other details have been provided and a release date has not yet been confirmed.
