Official Burnt Toast

OFFICIAL BURNT TOAST: Adrian Lawrence, Abrar Hafiz & Patrick Luke.

“Official Burnt Toast, the product of Adrian Lawrence’s detour through his own life puts everything on trial and demands answers, newness becomes a demand and freshness the result of an artist seeking the truth.

Adrian eloquently fuses the lethal observational skills of a Raymond Chandler detective with the subtleties and unsurpassed surgical spirits of a Martin Hannett production circa Joy Division and Section 25. The result is an infectious cocktail of American paranoia, Canadian objectivity and a very English obsession of introspection and the fly on the wall documentary with the warmth of an accessible sound”.
