Burning Codes – It’s Not What You Have It’s Who You Are
Paul Archer of Belfast’s Burning Codes is perhaps the most prolific song writer on these islands. He also pours every inch of his soul into his art with the result that relaxation rooms the world over need not bother trawling the internet for a meditative soundtrack. ‘Lightfinder’, from Burning Codes’ new (4th) album, expresses his gift perfectly and opening track ‘It’s Not What You Have It’s Who You Are’ is an immaculate introduction. There’s spirituality in these grooves but it is designed so that it never sounds in any way preachy. With Burning Codes the artist is his music and vice versa and what a perfect soothe it proves to be before Italy tear us to shreds later today. KD
