Charlie PS Lights A 'Slow Burn' Against The Modern Music Industry In New Release

Fri Nov 03, 2023

In Charlie PS’s single, “Slow Burn,” the Vancouver-based, England-born rock artist isn’t mincing words about the modern music industry.

The creativity inherent to music is what ignites the magic we feel when that bassline hits. It’s not a formula, it’s not linear, and it doesn’t require metrics for meaning - it’s a journey into humanity that makes you want to move. This is core to the concept of “Slow Burn,” a cathartic roar from Charlie PS as she unleashes her frustrations onto the track.

“Too many side eye glances I’ll never learn
Too much of a good thing, point of no return

Too many times that I wanna sit and watch it burn,
You better notice, you better know…”

Over instrumentation from Steven Roe on lead guitar, Lachlan Tocher on bass, and Brennan Buglioni on drums, Charlie PS rocks out with plenty of raw emotion.

Meandering vines together our branches grew

Drawing our lines, I hope they aren't parallel
Drawing our lines, where they lead I couldn't tell"
