Burn Burn is the upcoming seventh studio album by Canadian alternative rock band Our Lady Peace.[2] It is set to be released on July 21, 2009 by Sony Music Entertainment in Canada,[1][3] and through Warner Music Group in the United States.[1] The title is based on a quote by Jack Kerouac from his 1957 novel On the Road.
The album is Our Lady Peace's first not to have involved collaboration with an outside producer, having instead been produced by band vocalist Raine Maida.[3] The album's release will mark 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. It will also be their shortest album to date.
Album information
Production
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".[3]
Maida produced the album himself, noting how he was excited to "not have anybody intrude on sessions".[3] The album was completed in early March 2009, and is set to be released on July 21, 2009.[1]
Ongoing developments
Having been defunct since 2007, the official Our Lady Peace fansite was relaunched on March 11, 2009 in anticipation of Burn Burn.[4] The album's original cover was revealed with the relaunch,[4] and on May 1 was officially changed to portray a darker and more simplistic tone than the original.[4]
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.[5] 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.
Songs
The album contains 10 tracks of the 30 that were composed[6]—and is reportedly 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".[7] 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 secondary CD with studio footage and music videos.
