Every time I listen to this guy I press play, promptly forget about it, and realize I’m still listening 15 minutes later

Really enjoyed this new one. Ran it several times through. As calstars said - you try to listen actively and it takes you away so quickly.

there's some really harsh, unpleasant frequencies on this, and it doesn't do enough otherwise

I've warmed up a bit to "Chemz" and "Dolphins," but I will go to my grave not understanding why Antidawn was not hailed as a major statement upon release. Even here, there didn't seem to be much enthusiasm for a record that is to me a really fascinating pivot from one of the most innovative artists of the past twenty years. Maybe everyone was secretly hoping for a return to form, ie just repeating Untrue but less good?

Antidawn is what my niece and nephew call my wife, but hey
― Mark G, Friday, 12 August 2022 21:45 (one year ago) link
untrue isn't even his peak though, kindred through to rival dealer is much much better
i don't think antidawn was that much of a pivot though, he'd been putting out similar ambient stuff occasionally for a while, going back to "subtemple" and "young death"/"nightmarket"
― ufo, Friday, 12 August 2022 21:49 (one year ago) link
That's true, but committing himself so completely to that vibe was rather unexpected, no? And I actually agree about Untrue, I just assume that's the consensus pick. The early singles will always be my favorite Burial shit, along with the self titled LP
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 12 August 2022 21:53 (one year ago) link
from 2016 onwards his output has been kinda all over the place so going further with a style he'd already spent a while exploring wasn't really a big surprise, him putting out something album length was though

Been hammering Rival Dealer recently - never not sent into a different world when the "saw myself crying" bit rolls in on "Come Down to Us"

I agree! I'm not sure why most people go for Untrue over the debut but there you go
― paolo, Sunday, 14 August 2022 09:51 (one year ago) link
Antidawn was a bit of a let down for me I gotta say. Committing himself to that vibe over an album length release was a bit of a surprise but it's not like it came completely from nowhere, as has already been pointed out.

The first track, “Hospital Chapel” (the title itself is almost too painfully evocative if you’ve ever lost a loved one in a hospital), is a slow ambient track that I can see people not connecting to - it takes a long time to get going - but it is great
― Dan S, Friday, 21 October 2022 00:05 (one year ago) link
i don't think this is "more like his older work", it's more ambient stuff
― ufo, Friday, 21 October 2022 01:12 (one year ago) link
high-frequency chimes, ominous low-end synths and percussion, vinyl crackles, cuts and buzzes, beatific vocal samples, ghostly sound effects, and a mournful dream state

Ambient medley Burial is nice and all but bring back beat-based Burial, let's be real.

I really enjoy quest?onmarq's bootleg remixes of the classic material, I just wish this was longer and faster to fit in with my current mix.

co-sign. very good.
(other side is not bad)
elsewhere: great way to tease new music in the streaming era. all those unauthorized fan uploads on youtube had to have been expected by xl; subvert everything.

revisiting his past year or so of tunes because of this and i have to say how much i've come to like 'unknown summer.' it's such a subtle slow burning joy of a track+ufo i have to challenge your assertion that it doesn't at least compete with 'boy sent from above' in that category.
(let us also not forget the thom yorke collabs, but i digress; 'boy sent from above' a very significant tune)
further, the few stray non-hyperdub tracks from the past few years -'temple sleeper', 'pre dawn'+'indoors'- are all pretty neat in retrospect of this new material for xl.
hi. my name is austin+i ♡ burial.

Definitely my favorite Burial in a while, and I say that as a staunch fan and apologist for ambient Burial and the very underrated Antidawn EP. I liked Chemz / Dolphinz and Streetlands, too, though not as much.

I mean he has the perfect career, doesn't have to tour or do interviews, still makes a lot of money from records (and syncs), everyone respects him, I sure hope he's happy now.

relistening to the new tunes again and guys this question comes from a place of pure respect-
anyway, does burial make musical fan fiction?

South London Burroughs getting another reissue, at last. The fact that it's a "20th anniversary" release makes me feel ancient.
