Greg Freeman - Burnover (2025)
Burnover is a straightforward, narrative-driven indie rock album rooted in heartland traditions. Greg Freeman centers the record on plainspoken storytelling, delivering songs that focus on everyday scenes and personal observation. The guitar arrangements are functional and restrained, designed to support the lyrics rather than compete with them.
The album maintains a consistent tone throughout, which reinforces its sense of realism but also limits its range. Songs follow familiar structures and rarely shift dynamics, keeping the emotional register steady from track to track. While the writing is clear and purposeful, the music itself seldom pushes beyond its established framework.
Burnover succeeds in presenting a coherent point of view, but its reliance on traditional forms and modest arrangements keeps it from developing greater impact. It’s a solid, competent record that values craft over ambition.
