Is that a sample of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" in Ashtray Wasp?

I've only heard Kindred off of this so far. Personally find it incredible, especially turned right up on decent cans. Especially, yes, walking under overcast skies as I did on Sunday. It's long, but it's definitely set into three distinct movements. The most effective trick is that "lightning crash" that sounds like it's made up of several sounds clustered together, and the way the vocal samples seem to form around these - there's an awful lot of tension - pressure in the meteorological sense of the word.

Well that's a surprise: Four Tet has tweeted a Soundcloud link to a collaboration he did with Burial titled "Nova". The tweet also included "TEXT013," implying the song will be the 13th release on Four Tet's Text Records imprint.

Ah, that's what Kindred reminds me of - Dwr Budr by Orbital.

60-second clips (can't listen at work). Probably hard to judge based on these, I imagine.

Bought it last night, listened to it a few times with errrr 'suitable' accompaniment...not sure what to make of it yet, feels/is more framgented than we're used to from him. Some of those fragments are lush, almost-housey in their bounce, others are Burial-by-numbers spectral washes with that chain on metal sound he loves. One of the sections samples some late 90s/early00s dance track that's super obvious but I can't quite place it for some reason.
We put on the Kindred EP straight after and I've got to admit that it made this new one sound a bit slight.
― Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Saturday, 15 December 2012 10:17 (eleven years ago) link
rough sleeper is fantastic!
― Shin Oliva Suzuki, Saturday, 15 December 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link
They're both fantastic. There's very few producers who can come with a similar sound every time and not get boring
― paolo, Saturday, 15 December 2012 17:11 (eleven years ago) link
I find "Truant" to be the stronger track. They're both messier and 'sketchier' than his previous releases (including "Ashtray Wasp"). "Rough Sleeper" has some great passages, but it's a bit of a mess as a whole, with some parts more successful than others.
But the build up and sequencing of the first eight and a half minutes of "Truant" are breathtaking... Bevan has a great sense of drama. The segment between 3:50 and 5:13 is some of the best work he's done. I might lazily describe it as Indo-Caribbean Futurism (?) that only could've come out of the UK. It easily gives Shackleton a run for his money. The track sounds a bit like an evolution of the aesthetics of "Fostercare".
A bit of a mixed bag as a whole. Still a worthy effort, though. Would love to see a proper album built on some of the ideas heard here and on Kindred.

Feels like a mini-album of many short tracks. Took a few listens to get into, but I do love this now.
― ornamental cabbage (James Morrison), Sunday, 16 December 2012 22:00 (eleven years ago) link
I sort of agree with that 'mini-album' comment. Each track does seem to have 2 or 3 distinct sections. The first time I listened I thought the tracks had changed but they hadn't.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 16 December 2012 22:17 (eleven years ago) link
"Rough Sleeper" has some great passages
well that's what happened to me. one particular passage in Rough Sleeper is in loop in my head. the perfect soundtrack for the rainy saturday
― Shin Oliva Suzuki, Sunday, 16 December 2012 23:52 (eleven years ago) link
On first listen I think Truant sounds a lot more interesting. Most of Rough Sleeper is kind of rote.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 17 December 2012 13:31 (eleven years ago) link
This thing's a grower.
Still not quite sure what to make of the whole organ segment of "Rough Sleeper". There's little as far as momentum to the beat and not really an ambient feel either; kind of stuck somewhere in the middle. But god do things pick up after that. The "light surrounding you" vocals and the chimes are such a welcome new direction.
And "Truant" is still a stunner.
― azaera, Monday, 7 January 2013 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
feels like the most refined, 'pop' thing he's done. even if it's a complex series of developing sections or movements. even if he's using a chintz-y lexicon unit to pitch his sounds. don't really consider myself a burial fan, but i've played this new one(two) endlessly. nice to have such frequent, and increasingly varied output from somebody.
