Hij verliet Glasgow om in Londen een band te beginnen. Dat werd <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/starter.car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starter Car<\/a>. Het zal na die beginzin geen verbazing wekken dat Sparklehorse van invloed is geweest op de muziek van Burnett en zijn geestelijke toestand. Op <em>Safety Net<\/em> noemt hij zelfs Mark Linkous, de leider van die band die op 47-jarige leeftijd zelfmoord pleegde: \u2019I slipped through the safety net \/ I never have much to give \/ Ah give me a reason not to die \/ I can\u2019t be <!--more-->bothered with the fight \/\/ Did you find the time to open up? \/ Would you die tonight is tat enough? \/ You\u2019re not in you mind you think \/ Linkous was right.\u2019 Muzikaal klinkt het ook wel als Sparklehorse, zij het minder spannend.
