Single Review: The Burroughs – “My House My Car”

by Valerie Vampola

The Burroughs continue to progress their sound while retaining some of the retro vibe that first captured the hearts of Northern Colorado. Their new single, “My House My Car,” out January 28, shares stylistic similarities to the Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars project Silk Sonic. It has many of the musical tropes of the 70’s and 80’s, including a flirtatious (and almost goofy) female response chorus, a loud synth and their 4-piece Stax-style horn section. A rap from baritone sax player Hayden Farr adds a fun new bit, with a delivery that harkens back to the 90’s hip hop of Sir Mix-a-Lot and LL Cool J.

Check out the video for “My House My Car” below, and see The Burroughs live on February 11 at The Marquis Theater in Denver. Tickets and more at theburroughssoul.com
