So what's happening with him?

popped out for a nandos

playing Dark Souls probably

pretty good album, sounds like it should soundtrack Blade Runner or something

it has a similar vibe to classic Tricky albums too

HDB100 Young Death/Nightmarket

now with link: https://burial.bandcamp.com/

awesome

Just listened to those; really liked them.

Fucking excellent. Just such wonderful music.

From the moment the new single started it was instant chills. His style is so consistently good, warm and enveloping. "Paradise Circus (remix)" is one of the most harrowing songs ever.

^entirely unnecessary by both parties

and already removed too

what does it sound like

what was it?

Burial's remix of Goldie's "Inner City Life" (release date April 22)

I like how Burial dropped one of the best releases of the decade (Rival Dealer EP) before saying PEACE OUT IMMA play Dark Souls... forever apparently.

Except that he just released the Young Death/Nightmarket EP last fall?

Maybe he's still working on beating Dark Souls. He's this close to reaching the final boss.

Except that he just released the Young Death/Nightmarket EP last fall?

't back

what's bad about it?

I'm into it.

Tbf there were multiple Dark Souls games released since then, takes a lot of time!

wow

definitely not what i was expecting!

couple new tunes

Not very interesting ones.

I don't know, 'Beachfires' is pretty good as an ambient thing.

But yeah, otherwise, these are some of his least captivating things.

And, again, it's just okay.

i think "beachfires" is really cool, it sounds vaguely like it's telling a story to me, there's just a little more going on in the structure.. but not in an over the top clichedwaaambient way

I think this is good. Somebody commission him to do the dark souls soundtrack

Love this. Nothing revolutionary, but really like how the bouncy bass is restrained.

It is so good. Best thing he's done since Untrue

https://bleep.com/release/90434-burial-pre-dawn-indoors

the clips sound pretty banging

rodent fucking rules

I love these two
https://nonplusrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nonplus-043-pre-dawn-indoors

Yeah, I thought those two newest tracks were at least decent. A lot more "beaty" than everything else he's done in the past year.

He's been surprisingly prolific over the last twelve months. To recap, the past year we've heard:

Young Death
Nightmarket
Subtemple
Beachfires
Rodent
Pre Dawn
Indoors

Indoors is a lot more playful than I expected

rodent fucking rules

This Flame 1 release is amazing. Dubstep's not dead!

unreleased stuff from recent DJ sets by Four Tet & Charles Webster :

"claustro" has to be his best track since rival dealer

so, if you take all of his tracks released under just burial post-rival dealer, you can make a pretty damn good full length. we're talking 2015-present basically.

chronologically, the songs are:

temple sleeper
young death
nightmarket
subtemple
beach fires
pre dawn
indoors
rodent
claustro
state forest

that he staggered the release of this material over the course of several years i think lessened its collective impact, unfortunately. but if you take this stuff in as the proper full length follow-up to untrue, it's a pretty bold step (forward?).

also totally with ufo on 'claustro' being an absolute jam and one of his best.

temple sleeper
young death
nightmarket
subtemple
beach fires
pre dawn
indoors
rodent
claustro
state forest

so the reason for this revive is because i've been listening to a playlist of just this tracklist and it's really pretty good. the sequence this way is pretty wild. hooks you up with a dope beat up front with 'temple sleeper' but then uses the hard transitions on 'young death' and 'nightmarket' to go way off into experimental (arguably non-musical) territory until 'predawn' gets back into beatier songs. the transition from 'indoors' into 'rodent' into 'claustro' is very epic and good. 'state forest' as the closer is so satisfying after what preceded it.

burial is good fall music, btw.

'Street Halo' through 'Rival Dealer' probably amounts to my favourite album-or-two worth of Burial--equivalent to a 3rd and 4th LP.

The work post'Rival' has felt a little wispy and indistinct--but I'll try queuing it up as a body.

yeah the 2011-2013 releases from Street Halo to Rival Dealer are absolutely his best work (especially Rival Dealer which is absolutely transcendent) and have far surpassed Untrue for me. the Massive Attack remix EP from that period is unfairly overlooked too

his work since has been pretty hit and miss unfortunately. the ambient pieces have been pleasant enough but relatively underwhelming and while i love "claustro", the other more beat-driven tracks he's released over the past few years haven't done much for me.
