BritPop from Coventry boy Ian is reminiscent of Jesus Jones with Smashing Pumpkins and Crowded House overtones. The album has its dark places in songs "Black" and "And So It Goes" but elates in picking yourself up by your shirt collar in "Burn Brightly" and the romance of "Fields of England". This Album is Rhythmically Eclectic and will take you places in your imagination. The liner notes pay homage in brief bio"s to inspirations in Ian"s life including, Sir Winston Churchill, Michael Hutchence, Amelia Airhart, and Dale Earnhardt, People who have Burned Brightly.
