Ghost in the 404 returns with new tracks from Babyxsosa, Dreamcrusher, and more.
| Since the Face Been Revealed, Game Got Real: Burial’s Tunes 2011 to 2019 | December 19, 2019 |
Alex Swhear goes in on the recent compilation from the mythical electronic producer.
| Burial & Zomby – “Sweetz” | July 27, 2016 |
Burial & Zomby connect.
| Temple of Boom: Burial “Temple Sleeper” | January 28, 2015 |
Peter Holslin jogs on a treadmill… in space Burial’s new song “Temple Sleeper” reminds me of the themes to those cheesy ’90s sci-fi TV shows that were awesome precisely because of the low-budget special effects and space-time continuum-warping plotlines. The white-label cut (out via UK’s Keysound) is upbeat by Burial’s standards, and what sets it […]
| Winter Mix #8: Jordan Pedersen’s Epilogue | March 24, 2014 |
Jordan Pedersen realizes it’s technically spring, but hey, sometimes it snows in April. I gotta keep it 100: I wrote a pathetic, self pitying pile of crap for my first pass at this. “Wah wah it’s cold in Chicago wah wah winter is an insoluble injustice wah wah why won’t Kate Upton RT me.” I […]
| Rough Sleep & Truancy: A Review of Burial’s New 12″ | January 10, 2013 |
Adam Wray skipped work to write this. Listen to any two consecutive Burial releases and you’ll hear similar sounds and structures. Spin his 2007 debut after “Truant/Rough Sleeper“and the changes in his sound become more apparent. His latest 12” marks an exciting new stage in his perpetual bloom. It’s his most unpredictable work to date, […]
| Burial + Four Tet – “Nova” | March 4, 2012 |
Still trying to decipher whether this is a tribute to the nuclear explosion of a star, the fabled PBS program, the Chevy ride, or a paean to Steve Novak. Fun fact: Burial is a huge Knicks fan. What’s so striking about Four Tet and Burial’s collaborations is that you can almost dissect who did what: […]
| Sach O: Burial – “Kindred” EP | February 15, 2012 |
Son Raw’s going, going, back, back to Cali, Cali. Burial is an anomaly. You get the impression that the Mercury Prize for Untrue and the adoration from the Aphex Twin crowd were more bother than reward for a shadowy producer who grew up on Jungle and Garage on UK pirate radio and just wanted to […]
| Four Walls & A Funeral: Burial & Massive Attack | October 10, 2011 |
I don’t see the point of writing about this song in the daytime. I don’t see the point of listening to either of these artists before 10 p.m. Massive Attack and Burial prey upon weakness. They exploit our inherent inclination to grow mournful in the witching hours. Threnodies ideally consumed while solitary, solemn, and with […]
| Sach O: Burial – Shell of Light (Shlohmo remix) | July 12, 2011 |
Sach O DJs at the Shlow End Theory. I’m not too familiar with Shlohmo as the stoned, downtempo division of Bass music is Jeff’s chamber and he does his job well. I constantly find myself wanting to explore The Low End Theory scene beyond the obvious names but there’s only so many hours in the […]
