EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Fires Which Burnt Brightly finds the reconfigured Donovan's Brain emerging after a 4-year gap, with Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman) and Bobby Sutliff (The Windbreakers) now seated at the songwriting round table. Founding members Ron Sanchez and Colter Langan have gently steered the band back to their psych-pop roots. Despite, or maybe because of their efforts, Fires Which Burnt Brightly is a kaleidoscope of sounds and textures, which are a reminder of a time when there were no rules or formulas for music. Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Mike Musburger (Posies, Sgt Major) and label mate Roy Loney (Flamin Groovies) also appear with major contributions.
