I can truly say that Burial’s music is unlike any other. He effortless creates mood with his dark dubstep sounds. Bass and electronic samples and sounds are all that he uses, yet he creates more mood and atmosphere than any other musician out there.
Burial’s true identity was once unknow, creating plenty of discussions about who he is. This often took away from his music. So last year he finally emerged from the shadows, telling the world that his true identity was William Bevan, a young lad from South London who just liked to make music.
If you have not heard his amazing 2007 Untrue, you are missing out! I don’t care if you are not a fan of dubstep or electronic flavored music. Hell, I’m not either! Burial’s stuff is too good to be passed over, regardless of your musical taste. If you like music that creates atmosphere and emotions, listen to Burial.
Although there is no album in sight as far as I know, he has a new song coming out on a dubstep compilation titled 5: 5 Years of Hyperdub. The song is called “Fostercare” and it is dark, emotional stuff. True Burial.

get ready for a takedown notice, dickwad.
yea…ill take it down. just who may you be though mr. scary?
if you are a representative for a label, you guys sure do have some interesting tactics lol.
Because of this post I just bought a copy of untrue from iTunes. So if you are from a label speak up and have this blog take down this post so I (and many others) will know what not to buy in the future.
If you’d like to see what track the label promoed from this compilation, go stream it at 20JazzFunkGreats.
wow, will. i didn’t realize how harsh the critics of your blog could be. Burial has good crossover appeal for the headz that wouldn’t normally give dubstep a chance. I happen to think burial is way more “garage” than “dubstep” (dubstep in the way that digital mystikz and co. happen to rep their sound), but that’s just a superficial distinction anyway.
In addition to the compilation that hyperdub is putting out, they are releasing 5 vinyl ep’s with exclusive tracks. 5.1, 5.2, and 5.4 should all be available right now with the other two coming out within the next couple of weeks. I plan on getting ‘em all, so you can check them out sometime soon. Hyperdub has some of the most interesting output within the current electronic music scene, and the comp. will be a good chance to get updated on the most important musical movement today (imo).
bigup for this post. and who buys tunes without previewing them first?? surely “sky” could have youtubed any one of burial’s untrue tracks and have figured out “what not to buy in the future”.
Before you start calling the owner of this blog a “dickwad” perhaps you should do some research about pirating: http://arstechnica.com/media/news/2009/04/study-pirates-buy-tons-more-music-than-average-folks.ars
Oddly enough, people who pirate music the most also buy it the most! I think the music labels must have some kind of auto-immune disease if they are set on taking down their biggest customers…

Who cares about your little study on who buys music? That’s not the point. The post is that this is not cleared for posting. END OF STORY. Show some fucking respect to the label and the artist.
Just because you find things on the internet does not mean you should throw all of your ethics out the window.
