New Burial album. More info?

maybe a straight-up 2step banger would be interesting from him... or some pure drone stuff

Try SeeqPod: http://www.seeqpod.com/music/?q=burial+unite

'unite' is mah top tune of 2007

a brand new lp this fast seems... notright.

lets hope for several years of delays and reverb

This fast? It's been over a year! And it's not like he's been flooding the market with 12"s or anything.

It seemed so conceptually pure to just have one.

Otm. But if he can still pull off something great with this one, I'm in.

If there's one LP that could yet challenge Pinch for dubstep album of the year, it's Burial's. The secretive south Londoner has been hard at work throughout the summer and finally the fruits of his labour, Untrue have a release date in November on Hyperdub.

While a full album review will have to wait until next month's column, one track from the album has stone cold, instant classic written all over it. It's name is "Archangel". At first, it sounds like many Burial dubs: dark, spacey, with rolling drums and popping El-B-style woodblocks. Then the vocal comes in. Wherever you are when you hear this vocal, let me warn you now: please make sure you're sitting down.

Much of "Archangel" is familiar Burial: the Bad Company grimey synths, the deep, emotive Detroit strings and the Foul Play touches. What marks it out as entirely new territory for Burial is the way his infatuation with vocals comes so prominently to the fore, as if inventing some new kind of dark vocal pop.

"Holding you/ Let it be alone… let it be alone… loving you/ Kissing you/ Tell me I belong…tell me I belong…"

On paper the lyrics seem unremarkable. To the ears they're heartstring dynamite. Rolling through the fore of the track, the pitchbent vocals form syrupy melodies like a Todd Edwards classic or Akon r&b bomb. "Archangel" is a lament for everyone who's ever loved so hard it hurts, fallen so deeply little else matters, given until they're dry, cared until they've ascended to a higher place. Burial did all that in one track. Now, are you ready for the rest of "Untrue?"

*SIGH*

Nice interview in Fact Magazine:
http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/da/61991

"The sound that I’m focused on is more, you know, when you come out of a club and there’s that echo in your head of the music you just heard…I love that music, but I can’t make that club sort of stuff…but I can try and make the afterglow of that music."

"I can’t make super-tunes, but I can make eerie tunes…quiet and rolled-out, with the elements out of reach."

"I like putting uplifting elements in something that’s moody as fuck. Make them appear for a moment, and then take them away. That’s the sound I love…like embers in the tune…little glowing bits of vocals…they appear for a second, then fade away and you’re left with an empty, sort of air-duct sound…something that’s eerie and empty. Like you’re waiting just inside a newsagent in the rain…a little sanctuary, then you walk out in it. I love that."

"There's more rain this time round." :-)

Okay, the track titles are making me a little excited about this.

i can understand not wanting to make it a triple LP but omitting four songs from the vinyl? geez

I downloaded the South London Boroughs EP -- and liked it a lot -- but so far passed on the debut disc, assuming either it was either a retread of the EP's sound.(n.1) But this thread has me interested. Is the debut different sounding from the EP? Is it worth getting?

_____________________________________
(n.1) The EP's tracklisting is South London Boroughs, Southern Comfort, Night Train and Broken Home).

Sorry, I forgot to remove the word "either" from the first sentence.

the album is what you should own. the 12"s are fine, the album has ambient cuts and other weirder pieces on it as well.

the clips from this new album are insane. i cant wait.

whoa, those clips on boomkat are heavy

other clips:

can't decide if i should smirk or frown on seeing that burial appears to be better at the writing about burial game than his boosters are

btw i wonder if there isn't always a certain need people have, for an album like this (ghost cannibalization of older surer musics, at a sort of above the merry-go-round of modernity remove LET'S SAY) at this exact stage of every decade? yknow, this random desultory phase where people dont know what the big optimistic groundswell is and aren't finding themselves getting caught up in anything. it just seems so much like the clamour about pole all over again, from where i'm sitting.

or maybe the question should be not that the need exists, but that the one album always seems to get made? i wonder what the 80s equivalent was, if there was one. perhaps people werent yet po-mo enough by that point.

actually there was tons of crazy stuff happening in 1997 wasnt there. maybe... too much to enjoy? i dunno. something's being tapped into here though, and it couldn't have happened in say 2002.

I'm interested in what you think is happening, and how Burial fits into it. Burial's EP sound is throbbing, lonely, urban and ambient (like a modernized BladeRunner soundtrack), but I'm not sure what uniquely ''naughts'' sound or angst its tapping into or trailblazing for.

it's all about the memories of a better time: the not so distant past of mashup jungle and sexy 2-step. his music mourns the deaths of those genres....

threnody for an unrealized future

I'm just amazed by the unending effort to overwrite about this guy, it's so easy to come up with really moody cliched descriptions

jeez I wish he'd sort his fucking drums out...

...they're only slightly less annoying than Ma hobbs gushing praise and stupid accent

http://rapidshare.com/files/63100639/burial_album_preview_mixed_by_kode_9.mp3

love the atmos though...

what the hell is that woman on? O_o

...sounds like shes on his nutz big time !

i like how his hi-hats sound like scissors. do they still sound like that?

that announcer woman is in love with burial. and kode9 a little bit, too.

She's like that with everything, really. I want her to narrate my life: 'and now … the most incredible, lovely piece of toast that ever came out of a toaster … mmmm'

That said, 'the stage is yours' made me cringe.

Music's tops though.

Liked the description of the high-hats as scissors upthread – now I'm always going to think of that!

'and now … the most incredible, lovely piece of toast that ever came out of a toaster … mmmm'

dude, i am lolling so hard...

...I hate hi hats that sound like scissors, makes me want to cut myself just to feel alive

burial really loves the forrest whitaker samples.

From Ghost Dog yeah?

and in the mix of new album linked upthread there is a sample of his oscar speech....

i liked him before he started playing the PR game and doing broadsheet interviews.

The ill-ec-tro-nic has mp3s of "Near Dark" and "Etched Headplate" posted (from Hyperdub promos of the album)

"i liked him before he started playing the PR game and doing broadsheet interviews."

he was doing interviews about being elusive before the first lp came out:

http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html#114298266029581805

he only did one interview last time. now, hes doing loads. still, if it makes him and kode 9 a bit of money, then cool. these interviews remind me of the early ones with afx in a cult of personality kind of way.

grey, washed-out, cheap-looking, pseudo-arty video for "ghost hardware" (sort of everything vahid accuses burial of being, musically):

not doing broadsheet is also playing the PR game. cf belle and sebastian.

at the time I think would actually be leveling that accusation more at the entire genre than at burial in particular.

although lately i've been coming around to dubstep quite a bit more. i think it was repeat listens to scuba's post-electro almost-ambient-techno tracks ("brown", "twista", "harpoon"), distance's "my demons" album and kode 9's incredible "magnetic city" that got me there.

i might give burial a 2nd chance, as long as it's less lame atmospherics (qawwali singing and blues loops? do you people listen to peace orchestra too?) and more scissory 2-step beats (loved "unite"!)

that was xpost to jermainetwo

for the record, my favourite burial thing is his remix of jamie woon's "wayfaring stranger".

at least, until i heard this "unknown remix" on thisisnotanexit's latest mix, that i'm listening to for the first time right now.

up on http://www.bleep.com/

you can stream but no dl til the 5th

'archangel' really is terrific.

i like this one more than the first one even after only a couple listens

i haven't been this excited for an album for a long time. it's going to be so hard to resist downloading it before the cd comes in the mail.

leaked!

leaked? i saw it in the store two days ago...

I actually prefer the one with Eno, Kraftwerk, Rother, a Tribe Called Quest, Mary J Blige, Amon Tobin, etc. etc.

eno, kraftwerk, rother? pffft alright apparently you just have a thing for bald white dudes.

8=======D ~~~ ~

Marius J. Blige, exposed!

the burial tracklist would have to be just all old rave and hardcore. with some old school DnB in it.

was just reading an old interview with him in the wire, and thats pretty much how he rolls.

http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/347/

here'tis

If it is the real deal then it's great that Stairwell is finally seeing the light of day. That one tune stamps on most of his last album. Would be cool to have this on unmixed vinyl.

It is fake.

aha! So there's a real one somewhere, then?

Teebee - daywalker (burial remix)

Ooooh I neeeed to hear this. Badly.

aha! So there's a real one somewhere, then?
Alas no, but Kode 9 posted the concise but fairly unambiguous answer "NO" when it was posted on the dubstepforum.

I want to hear his FSOL remixes.

maybe it was "nooooooooooooooooooo" as in "noooooooooooooooooooooo, i cant believe the tracklisting leaked"

xpost

Kode Vader.

... and round 3 begins.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/03/digging-burial-kode9-reveals-brandnew-burial-at-brainfeeder-sessions.html

listening to kode9 dj right now on the brainfeeder live stream thing and he's playing straight '90s drum & bass :)

anyone know anything more about this project:

BURIAL vs MASSIVE ATTACK
TBA [HELIGOLAND REMIXED]
(VIRGIN, expected Summer)

It's no secret that Burial has been commissioned to remix Massive Attack's recent Heligoland LP in full. If the project is completed on schedule, it should be out in time for 2011's post-summer comedown.

it was a secret to me, at least.

heard about it long ago. will never happen. where is the dj kicks?

in a couple of hours... ?

http://lockerz.com/s/145994981

http://www.facebook.com/massiveattack?sk=wall&filter=2

woah!

no way

I'm guessing this is a few tracks remixed or a collaboration. If this is actually that remix album idea made real, I'll eat my hat.

(gets out salt and pepper)

it's a two-song single, but each song is about 12 minutes. and it's less a rework than a total overhaul.

"Both tracks exclusive to this limited edition"

I don't believe that, tbqh.

it's ... interesting. probably works well if you're walking around in the early-morning hours, a little hazy and disoriented. all mood, no hook. you can generally say that about burial, but it isn't true, especially on his newer material (e.g., the collaborations with four-tet and the street halo EP).

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VBeuyRvHsN0/S_B4Aa7JmaE/AAAAAAAABFI/wkIrtQ9AjU8/OneTrickPonyGreetings.jpg

oh hey I'd like this but 25 pounds probably not going to happen

this is going to be on discogs for 100 in two weeks, right?

not a one-trick pony. see, e.g., the stuff i mentioned above (the four-tet collaboration; street halo EP, which -- far from being totally downcast, moody affairs -- is music with a beat, that you can play in the summer sun). this track, however, moves back toward bleak soundscapes.

I was thinking, what with the work with Jamie Woon, that Burial was moving towards making genuine SONGS. "Fostercare" and "NYC" are almost recognizable ballads, Imo. This is a surprise. It's ok... a bit thin...

i wouldn't take it as strong evidence either way. it's a one-off project, apparently.

and you're right. overall, the recent trend for burial is toward more songs.

i ordered two copies. i wish burial would use a different sound palette.

$480 on Ebay already

one at £500 on discogs.com , even

http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=3184385&ev=rb

shit, i better put my spare copy up while the iron is hot

got my copy of this in the mail today. it's pretty great, but i'm thinking of selling it...

...srsly? lol at the fools stupid enough to spend that kind of money
