Burial


Burial's new album is generating so much buzz I doubt he'll remain an anonymous London dubstepper for much longer. I hate to join the, erm, hype machine, but he has made some really great tracks, and there's no denying that. The best of his new album tempers the hyper-dramatic swooning vocals with murky dubbed-out effects, while keeping the beat straightforward enough to keep my interest. I think his more atmospheric, beatless stuff works better in a certain altered state, if you know what I mean.

Here are my favorites from the new LP, Untrue [hyperdub]:


Burial - Archangel

"Burial sucks"? good lord. get that man a new pair of ears.

i dont think burial will reveal his identity - he'd have done it long ago if he wanted too. he doesnt care of his music is a success - it's all for him. "he just likes making tunes"
