The Mining Co._ bring a heartfelt collection with their debut album Burning Sun & the Atomic Powers Within which will be released on March 11th. Co-produced in Spain by lead singer Michael Gallagher with Paco Loco, Gallagher’s melodies and lyrics have a moodiness, a fragility that seeps from the first track to the last. Things get off to a solemn, thoughtful start with “Country Heart” which continues with the laid back, lush organ of “Cover of Night. The title track has an almost hypnotic feel while the shuffling “Copper Ghosts” and “Homeward Bound” lend a country noir atmosphere. Melancholy permeates the Cash-esque “Shoot The Stars” and the banjo-driven “Lonesome Bird” while the string and harmony-filled “Keep On Rollin’” (an instant album favorite) closes the album on a joyously twangy note. It may take the listener a few spins to fully appreciate Burning Sun & the Atomic Powers Within, but with each listen you will see its depth and grow to appreciate it more.
