Luke No fucking way!!!! I was just picking up a digital copy of one of the great forgotten 2000s emo bands, The Silent Type's, album and thinking who I'd say they sounded like in the unlikely event anyone asked. TBP came to mind and figured I needed a digital copy of Burning Truths while I'm at it. Never in a million years did I think I'd arrive to find a NEW ALBUM up for pre-order. This is what getting hit by lightning must feel like. Wild. Welcome back!!

    Please note: while we package every single record in brand new/factory condition inside of reinforced Amazon-style record mailers, there is ALWAYS inherent risk of cosmetic damage to the album sleeve (dents, bends, creases, scuffs) from the process of moving from facility to facility within the USPS system. As such, we only guarantee the playability and condition of the vinyl record itself and not the condition of the sleeve or inserts. To avoid the risk of any sleeve or insert damage, you can always purchase the album from a physical record store. Thank you.

Merganser 01:58
Wake me when it’s done I will see you there. Meet me in the shallows. I will see you there. Save me from myself I will need you there. Save me from myself I will need you there.
2.
I knew it from the start That this would be the end of you And all of me I sleep on the left side Like we always do When you were here I can’t carry this alone Always on the outside For four years now I don’t know who we are anymore
3.
This is a still life she says Under soft light, gilded stars You were happier than I’d seen You years Between you and me my friend Between you and me I said this is beautiful I said this is love And you should have known by now Yes, you really should have known
4.
Intensity of fires I fell to your arms Everything was broken until you came Hours leave the emptiness More than I thought it could Silence is more wonderful As you know You held all of me and me all of you Destroy it all with what we said, we would never be
5.
Shore 02:20
6.
You must have laughed at some stupid thing I said Is this a funeral? or are we freezing ourselves to death? I just can’t tell anymore I just can’t tell anymore I never said I was beautiful But I could see it in your eyes I can’t even breathe right now And I’m not sure I ever have Is this a funeral? or are we freezing ourselves to death? I just can’t tell anymore I just can’t tell anymore
7.
I saw your face on the way back home You looked how I feel inside I am weak, incomplete You and I were dead inside I am lost but you are found
8.
Two Hearts 03:53
(like) two birds through broken glass I loved you too I loved you too Wings outstretched, with open wounds Can you see me now? Can you see me now? I’m ashamed of two hearts Beating as one All as one The stars, yes, they aligned (for just awhile) And I’m sorry I’m so sorry Can you see me now? Can you see me now? I know what the flowers meant I know what the flowers meant always meant goodbye
9.
Nothing Left 05:43
Will I be the one? When there’s nothing left? The way you move. The way you breathe. The way your hand fits with mine And there’s nothing at all I can’t hear your heartbeat All the way from here. No there’s nothing at all I can’t even see you now And there’s nothing at all So sing my name And sing it with me now

about

"Everything is Broken & I Don't Feel a Thing" is the first studio album in over 2 decades from Beverly, Massachusetts' THE BURNING PARIS.

Known in the early-mid 2000's for a unique sound marked by glacially-paced arrangements, somnambulic, shoegaze-ish vocal treatments, and classical instruments woven tastefully between otherwise-traditional rock instruments, the 2023 incarnation of THE BURNING PARIS picks up precisely where it all left off, nary missing a beat.

From the delicate establishing notes and the very first line ("Wake me when it's done") of "Merganser," the album's opener, it should be clear to prior fans of the band that this is but a continuation. For those encountering the band for the first time, the sound remains prescient and distinctive when held up against all that has come before and what will come after "Everything is Broken & I Don't Feel a Thing."

Sometimes it takes the absolute bleakest, most existential albums possible to be the proverbial silver lining in whatever we go through in this life. THE BURNING PARIS has once again delivered the goods.
