Tav Falco - Desire on Ice (CD)

In February 2024, Tav Falco and his incomparable Panther Burns descended upon Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Tennessee to record their 14th studio album, Desire On Ice. The result is a career-spanning collection of Falco's original compositions, with song selections highlighting various stages of the Panther Burns' 45 year tenure. In addition to the groups current line-up, including guitarist/producer Mario Monterosso, the album features contributions from past Panther Burns members and contemporaries like Jon Spencer, Reverend Horton Heat, and Kid Congo Powers. Inspired by the purview of artists whose vision and musicianship have matured, this work excavates the undercurrents of a psyche known for deconstruction of mythic themes of unrequited love, brother against brother, lost causes, and burning mansions. Desire On Ice is a momentary slice of immediate, askew balladry already hurled into the future.
