Burning Bridges

by Naked Eyes

Burning Bridges cover art

Hitting the international market at the height of the Second British Invasion, this debut release perfected a highly sophisticated, deeply melancholic brand of synthesized new wave. 'Burning Bridges' is dominated by the Fairlight CMI and bright, ringing electronic hooks that brilliantly contrast with Pete Byrne's yearning, highly emotive vocal style. The record is permanently defined by its colossal, enduring hit cover of the Burt Bacharach standard 'Always Something There to Remind Me.'
