Can you have too much love? Is that a thing? Composer/bassist Euan Burton clearly knew that I (and no doubt others) were going to raise that very question, since the press release for his second release for the estimable Whirlwind Recordings contains an explanation of the phrase. “I guess it's a rose-tinted way to look at certain darker and more upsetting aspects of life,” he says. The follow-up to Burton's cinematically atmospheric 2012 suite Occurrences is neither dark nor upsetting, however: it could be described as spirited, lyrical, skitteringly playful (on ‘Fading Memories’, featuring some lovely alto work from Adam Jackson) and even as positively rhapsodic (particularly on the classically infused ‘Rhapsody’, on which pianist Tom Gibbs gets to demonstrate his chops) – but hardly as dark or upsetting. ‘All That Is Left’ finds the Glasgow quartet in tenderly reflective mood, as does the title track, which closes this satisfyingly concise set.
