Londoner Dave Burn is best known as co-founder of americana “supergroup” Orphan Colours and Ahab, but when solo, his creativity really shines. As the title of his second solo album indicates, he is not completely alone; he has brought a few musician friends along. The rest of the title contains not just his nickname but an altogether more serious notion. Some time ago, Burn found himself working with two other Daves, one bigger and one smaller, but the sense of being in the middle occurred to him in another context. Seeing how just about anything these days is so polarised at two extremes, Burn thought, what about just being somewhere in the middle ground? He posits that wisdom gained with age often takes the edge off previously held views that might have come across as radical. What’s wrong with just taking that middle course? It is not a cop out, but just saying no to the extremes. This whole idea, if a bit blurry, lay behind his 2022 EP ‘Medium Dave’. He kept on writing, and the same theme kept popping up until he had enough songs for a full album. The cover art is the same, too; many of a similar age and outlook can relate to that fine right foot.
