Burial
Burial
U.K.'s best underground, grimy electronic artist rises from the sewers & gives us some of today's most beautiful crafted soundscapes. It all started with 2005's Hyperdub released South London Boroughs. Then came 2006's Distant Lights & a self-titled album. '07 gave us Untrue & Ghost Hardware. I didn't come on board until 2013's Truant / Rough Sleeper single. But what a time to come on board. By the end of 2013 we got the River Dealer E.P. Wherever electronic music is headed, this homie is carrying the torch. This isn't music for everyone, rightfully so. Burial is like AFX's somehow-cooler-younger-cousin. It's in the same lineage. If there is a man who has somehow created a mood within his music, it is Burial, who's music expands of multiverses and soundscapes, glowering atmospheres... dark... euphoric. Gentle sampled vocals, soft beats. His signature sound is the crackle of vinyl. Burial managed to keep his identity unknown during the early parts of his career, up until 2014, letting the music speak for itself. Burial's real name is William Bevan. But that takes the mystery out of everything. This music would fit for a mystery movie. With a marksman's precision, Burial can articulate the highs and lows of a nocturnal inner-city life in London, mastering how to evoke a feeling of feeling alone while also have a strange sense of belonging. This music is the soundtrack to those lives. A good place to start would be with the recently released Tunes 2011 - 2019, which collects the second era of Burial, the era when I got on board. It's interesting to see where this artist is headed never, never knowing. But he is an artist who sits where he wants to sit, releases music when he wants to, and loves to keep the mystery alive.
