Burning Hearts are Finnish duo Jessica Rapo and Henry Ojala. In another life Jessica is the singer with Le Futur Pompiste while drummer/multi-instrumentalist Henry plies his trade in Cats On Fire, who've made quite a splash here in the UK over the past twelve months or so. I've no idea how Burning Hearts came to choose their name although I suspect it probably wasn't inspired by the Survivor song of the same name which featured on the soundtrack to Rocky IV many moons ago. (Then again, you never know!)A week or so before Christmas we received a preview of Burning Hearts' forthcoming album Aboa Sleeping courtesy of Matthew at Shelflife Records which I was immediately taken with and have been enjoying ever since. If dreamy, female-vocalled synthpop is your bag (daddio) then I think you're really going to enjoy this album, which comes out on February 10th but which you can pre-order from Shelflife for a measly $10 right now. In the meantime, get your listening gear round these!
