New Burial album. More info?

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

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 think the vocal sample on the opening track "untitled" is from "INLAND EMPIRE". i wasn't too fussed about the first record but from the stream (that doesn't stream) on bleep this sounds incredibly great. really looking forward to it.

Loving it on first listen, in particular 'Archangel' and 'Etched Headplate', although the ghostly diva thing can wear a bit thin listening to the whole thing in one sitting. Also cool how 'Raver' flirts with minimal house.

yeah this album is really really good if you don't mind the fact that it's fairly homogenous

i think the title track is my favorite right now

Where is it Oink when I need it ... Argh.

good album to bang to

"ghostly diva" tpp otm. a real letdown.

Where is it Oink when I need it ... Argh.

go search

OK, this is good.

MP3 and FLAC release for those of you unwilling to wait till Tuesday.

(For a legal download that is.)

Feeling this one.

It arrived in the post today. Only heard it once yet, don't know whether I'll like it more or less than the first one, but it feels like more of an album than the "a loose collection of partial tunes you might hear from open windows while walking through a city night" concept of the debut.

'shell of light' has a very pretty, sentimental outro - strikes me as a sincere celebration of the breadth of pop emotionalism (like all the studio remixes do).

still encourage all to check out the 'thisisnotanexit' exclusive remix thing.

oh my GOODNESS i am loving this. perfect for the end of daylight saving, huh

takes flight and carries right on where the first album left off in an upwardly mobile progression...

...don't know if i could go a third album with them same drums and would love to hear someone like reso, toasty, boxcutter or elemental fuck with a tune or three

loops nicely and quietly in the background while doing some late night 'puter work though...

...i likes it

i wonder why he changed the original 'homeless' to 'dog shelter' and called another tune 'homeless' ???

Archangel wins.

Did anyone hear his Bloc Party remix yet?

was thinking of cloning the burial sound and putting it out there as a 'lost' leak track just for laughs...

...but i imagine he'll probably do it himself

Lofi but nice sample of that Bloc Party remix:

http://www.exlibris.ch/vinyl.aspx?status=detail&p_id=1473647&t_na=CPV

turns out the untitled remix I was referring to above *is* the bloc party remix... it's really great.

the one on thisisnotanexit's mix? wow

i assume bloc party sounds nothing at all similar to that?

No, not at all. They're an uptempo rock band.

"art-punkers Bloc Party mix angular sonics with pop structures." (from AMG)

cheers for that thisisnotanexit tip, jermainetwo. (much better sounding & longer than that record store sample)

i'll be looking forward to the "high-tech darkside" album he put off to do this one. it is lovely tender, though.

The album suddenly clicked for me, first thought it was a bit samey and maybe kinda boring even, but last night, in the dark, with headphones, it just, wow.

Very samey, very boring. One track sounds almost identical to a track on the debut (I mean, even within the extremely narrow confines of this guy's style it was like "have a second idea please").

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).

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
