Burial Essentials

Burial Essentials

Mysterious British producer Burial transformed electronic music with the haunting, cinematic soundscapes of his eponymous 2006 debut and its follow-up, 2007's riveting Untrue; both albums use lurching UK garage and dubstep beats as a skeleton for muffled, moody layers of reverb and digital grit. With tracks like sorrowful club ballad "Archangel", the rain-soaked and cigarette-burned "Ghost Hardware" and the smoky, menacing "Distant Lights", Hyperdub's lone wolf evokes rainy, deserted London streets and the aching loneliness of Sunday night comedowns like no other artist.
