Burial

all the ambient pieces really work together nicely at the start of this comp, i like them a lot more together than on their own

wow i love this

That's fantastic. He really gets the balance right between euphoric and melancholy on that one.

ooh yeh this is great, unique style for burial i think

Enjoyed the Pitchfork review of Tunes 2011 to 2019. Usually this is the kind of critical hagiography that grates on me but it doesn't here, probably because I agree with all of it.

A new Burial + Four Tet + Thom Yorke collab has surfaced and I’m loving it:

oh these are really lovely, some of my favourite music from thom in a long time.

God these are good.

I love these.

yeah, these are great. but just like the "ego" / "mirror" thing from several years back, i'm immediately annoyed at the exclusivity of them — WHY??!!?! it's three of the most respected and renowned musicians of the last decade, get it on the fucking radio ffs.

Her Revolution is so beautiful, I could listen to it go on forever

low fi chill yorkeie beats. yeah i could do with this being an hour

it has been on Spotify since Friday

yeah, these are great. but just like the "ego" / "mirror" thing from several years back, i'm immediately annoyed at the exclusivity of them — *WHY*??!!?! it's three of the most respected and renowned musicians of the last decade, get it on the fucking radio ffs.

Which, in fairness, was a week after the original, allegedly exclusive, release.

Blame Four Tet, his schtick-y obsession with doing this exclusive vinyl/record store stuff to be seen as cool and underground wears a touch thin in 2020. Great music tho!

new single "chemz" with another, "dolphinz", coming in april (or maybe february? it's a little unclear)

🔥🔥🔥
What a Banger!

Sold out already, unfortunately. Hope they'll press more

I had a dream last night that Burial got made an MBE. True story.

xxp it looks like the full digital release comes out in February, one half of the release is available now, and the vinyl is scheduled for April

holy shit, chemz is incredible stuff. i haven't been following burial over the past few years, is this the first time he's gone all-out rave like that?

He's definitely had some rave-ier tracks -- Temple Sleeper, Rival Dealer, etc

"claustro" from 2019 is the closest predecessor to "chemz"

It’s been almost 10 years since I last heard Untrue and my nostalgia got triggered hard. This does for me what Massive Attack’s Mezzanine does. Albums which I was obsessed about the year they came out and I very rarely come back to, but when I’m in the mood for them they outshine every music ever made.

(i haven't listened yet)

wish I was feeling this more but like the last several Burial singles I find it a bit disappointing. "Space Cadet" better than "Dark Gesthsemane" though

these are the first Burial tracks I really like again after a long time

"Dark Gesthsemane" is fantastic!

agree

dark gesthsemane is so good

I'm as massive a Burial stan as you will find and I am still not hearing what you all are hearing in these new tracks

Still here for it though, and for whatever's next

Dolphinz > Chemz

Dr. Lilly he say, why choose?

I don't know what to expect - different art style, new profile pic, sounds like it could be beatless?

going to be 30 mins of just layers of vinyl crackle and alley echoes and nothing else

I'm in

twist is it's actually album length despite being called an EP

Fake(?) leak already out there.

yeah after listening i did question if it's real because it's quite a shift even from previous ambient burial. but it's not totally out of character or anything or obviously fake, wouldn't really be surprised either way

someone says it's Asleep Country’s album Next Year’s Snow ?

no idea, I've not seen the leaked thing - https://nextyearssnow.bandcamp.com/album/100

I can't believe it's almost 2022 and people are still making fakes

what I found isn't that Asleep Country thing at least but it's quite atrocious - I hope it's real :D

an announcement and physical sales without even putting out a preview single is pretty rare now

real thing is entirely ambient burial

I'm in

Seems to be up now on Bandcamp
