Patrick Burke

Patrick Burke was a member of the cult post punk unit Parasites Of The Western World. Burke released his solo LP "Silence and Timing" in 1981. Silence And Timing may refrain from some of the balls out avant rock maneuvers heard on POTWW's recently reissued album on Destijl, but it's a knockout in its own less overt way; Burke's idiomatic boundary blur in this instance being between dreamy psych and melancholic post punk, with passing overtones of both Brian Sands and Gignoux's The Broadway Boys, though this has got a darker overall cast than either of those.
