The Burning Paris album out now! Reunited Boston strings-based, slowcore group returns w/ Everything is Broken & I Don’t Feel a Thing


"Wonderfully melancholic... Sounds like TIndersticks jamming with Low. Simply superb." -- Echoes & Dust



Beverly, Massachusetts quintet The Burning Paris release their first album in over 2 decades today, titled Everything is Broken & I Don't Feel a Thing via Dark Operative & Pax Aeternum. Hear and share the album via Bandcamp, Spotify and all other DSPs. 


Everything is Broken & I Don't Feel a Thing proves well worth the wait. 


Known in the early-mid 2000's for a unique sound marked by glacially-paced arrangements, somnambulic, shoegaze-ish vocal treatments, and classical instruments woven tastefully between otherwise-traditional rock instruments, the 2023 incarnation of The Burning Paris picks up precisely where it all left off, nary missing a beat. 


From the delicate establishing notes and the very first line ("Wake me when it's done") of "Merganser," the album's opener, it should be clear to prior fans of the band that this is but a continuation. For those encountering the band for the first time, the sound remains prescient and distinctive when held up against all that has come before and what will come after Everything is Broken & I Don't Feel a Thing.


Sometimes it takes the absolute bleakest, most existential albums possible to be the proverbial silver lining in whatever we go through in this life. The Burning Paris has once again delivered the goods. 


Everything is Broken & I Don't Feel a Thing is available on LP, CD and digital on July 14th, 2023 via Dark Operative & Pax Aeternum. Orders are available HERE
