"one of the most mysterious figures in electronic music"

C'mon, this is getting a bit old now isn't it? We know who Burial is iirc

OR DO WE?!

It's press, what do you expect?

but he still doesn't play live or do much press, right?

^ both vv promising imo

Yeah, impressed with Street Halo first time round - it's sounding really danceable!

yeah it seems like "raver" is the template for the new stuff

It's a little bit 2stepy.

Like everything else he's done?

This is deeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Like the idea of him playing live - copying & pasting samples into Soundforge!

this is excellent

Burial vs. Corey Hart <<< important connection imo

Sure he's a one trick pony, but I still really like that trick.

Pure solo Burial >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Colabs

Its so good to have him back.

Not that the colabs/remixes have been bad or owt...

"okie dokie"

lol burial collabs are usually better than orig. still think moth/wolfcub is the best release w/ his name on it.

my full thoughts on Street Halo here

I'm glad he's dropped that (excuse my terminological illiteracy) "echo beat" that you kept reappearing on Untrue in at least the first 3 songs and a couple later.

The only way I can describe it is that it goes "boomph-ba-da-da-boomph-ba-da - COONK"... "boompha-ba-da-daboomph-ba-da - COONK"

^ otm

but I mean it really was weird and I was fairly surprised that critics seemed to generally ignore it. It took a couple listenings to realize that he just wasn't transferring the same beat from song to song and only differentiating between them by song titles and atmospherics/samples.

Well, I would argue that the beat you are describing, and variations of it, are his signature. You know it's him instantly. He owns it. And for me personally, it still works at album length.

not sure why anyone would mistake 3 songs / 19 mins for an album??

There were rumors that this could be the first taster of an album later this year.

mp3 & wav @ hyperdub.net , y'all

error messages galore.

Paid, but then hyperdub.net threw up a load of "your order is incomplete" and "error processing your transaction" messages and now I don't even see a way to login there anymore. :-(

You got Buriolled!

"web design by FAIL"

indeed.

Duh. If you sign up with upper case letters in your password, you have to log in with lowercase because the site apparently converts your password into lowercase.
Got the files now.

The guy who ripped the vinyl had one of the bad pressings, clearly. The title track sounds a lot less distorted.

New Burial EP: Kindred

http://www.hyperdub.net/releases/view/149/HDB059

All the tracks are really long

You can always pause them if you need a toilet break halfway through.

What I meant is, I don't think they justify their length. "Loner" is the shortest and the most interesting I think

Pretty much loving the shit out of this imho.

this is OTM http://thequietus.com/articles/07997-burial-pseud-quotes

new stuff, cool

is there bass in these tracks i'm not hearing?
