--- Quote from: ALLMUSIC ---The Burning Hearts are Le Futur Pompiste's Jessika Rapo and Cats on Fire's Henry Ojala, and in a way the project can be seen as a mash-up of both bands. Like Le Futur Pompiste, the Burning Hearts sound a bit frosty and austere thanks to Rapo's ethereal, detached vocals and some new wave-y synth swooshes. And like Cats on Fire, the Burning Hearts' tunes are graced with a heavy dose of C-86-style jangliness and reverb. The whole thing comes off sounding a lot like the Radio Dept. and the Bridal Shop; but what sets the Burning Hearts apart is Rapo and Oljala's creative chemistry -- they've come up with a really solid album of synthy, jangly songs that, while they do sound familiar, have a wintry sheen that's all their own. "Sea Birds" offers a great example of everything the Burning Hearts are doing well on Aboa Sleeping: what with its knotty, dramatic basslines, irresistible hookiness, and shimmering vocals, it has the dense, humid feel of a fever dream. "I Walked Among the Trees" is another stand-out track -- opening with a tangle of spacy synth effects worthy of Gary Numan, the song develops into an icy-sweet mix of jangliness and synth pop that sounds something like a cross between a-ha and Altered Images. Aboa Sleeping is a subtle, moody little disc, and it's promising to boot.

I've been giving No Salvation more attention but upon a recent listen I've realized this is their best album. These guys melt face live and in my option are one of the only "heavy" bands worth any attention from the states. Socially conscious crust sludge punk n roll. If you like bands like Black Flag, Redd Cross and the more recent Can-a-duh hardcore like Fucked Up and Cursed, you win.

Man, this Burning Hearts is wonderful. Perfect music for a chilly fall evening. Thanks!
