Ha.

I'd kind of like this to be true, but it seems unlikely.

nice try four tet we know you're burial. don't try to pretend you're not.

I've seen people link various news from Equalizemag.com, but that site appears to be like The Onion for electronic music, i.e. it consists of nothing but parody news.

This item from the same site was making the rounds a couple of weeks ago, and people seemed to believe that too.

I doubt anyone believed this one, though:

also 'james blake to launch line of organic cotton shirts' made me lol inexplicably hard

me TOO

i like that there is a version of the onion for electronic music news. i don't like that it isn't very funny, or doesn't seem to be.

yeah man, that's a cool release

Available digitally for the first time, it's also one of the first items on Massive Attack's new web store.

Incidentally I know someone that actually SAW sisqo perform live recently.

Good news, the last few eps have been probably his best work imo.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Daniel OTM

Good

'Ashtray Wasp' now his greatest song IMO

That bit where the riff comes in quietly at about 1.45 is one of my favourite ever bits where a riff comes in

And that cycling bit at about 3.16

And yeah - it is ashtray wasp that has that bit at 8.00 where it turns into a weird glam groove in a scary sad mist and goes 'Darkness falls upon me' (or is it flies? lies?)

That's a bit of burial I'm always looking for and always forgetting which song it's in

Dunno about anyone else, but I think negative emotions are extremely difficult to put into a piece of music that you'd actually (honestly) want to listen to, it requires a pitch-perfect sensibility to avoid turning into parody – Burial today one of the few people who can do this?

Ashtray Wasp also has the really sad submerged jazz ending

It doesn't get sadder than In McDonalds does it lads?
"You look different"

^ ^ ^

knew there was a special reason for my morningwood today.

'Ashtray Wasp' now his greatest song IMO

rough sleeper for me, tho ashtray wasp gets extra points for sampling cheap-trick.

gettin' pStoked, raming up for the new one.

errritt.. RAMPING up for it?

Earlier today, http://www.theorchard.co.uk/release/888003991057/burial/rival-dealer was taken down. It contained this info:
" 23 dec. 2013 - UPC: 888003991057. Tracklisting. 1. Rival Dealer. 2. Hiders. 3. Come Down to Us "

Guessing the date might be the physical release since digital was going to be next week (Dec 16th)

Good.

Never know what to say when anticipating something.

El-B's Serious is a tune by the way – I think it gets mentioned as a possible Burial influence upthread

possible sample of the title track

sounds, superficially at least, like burial, but it's a lot more aggressive than the other recent work. again, if it's genuine.

okay, so possible samples of all three songs from the new ep. not convinced these are genuine, but they certainly could be.

http://www.hyperdub.net/releases/view/258/HDB080

that title track is fantastic. and with the second-half of that song, he's still experimenting with longer, weirder, more ambient song-structures (like he did on the truant/rough-sleeper ep).

the beginning of hiders reminds me a little of david foster's instrumental theme to st. elmo's fire? but i really dig it, especially as it builds to something almost rock-ish sounding.

this ep feels like a fairly big departure (into interesting directions) to me. initial impression is that this ep is one of the best things i've heard this year.

St. Elmo's Fire meets To Live and Die in LA -- Foster/Wang Chung soundclash.

yeah!

um, two of the three official mp3s are called ... - Burlal - ...

and it's... wow... different but great

wow

yeah. it's pop-ish at points. the fact magazine insta-review got a lot of things wrong, in my view, but they finished with an interesting discussion about subject-matter that might be embedded in the subtext of the EP.
