Burial, aka Will Bevan, is a dubstep musician from South London, England. His eponymous debut album was released in 2006 to critical acclaim. The Wire magazine named it their album of the year and it came fifth in the Mixmag 2006 Album of the Year list.On Friday, September 28th 2007, a message on the Hyperdub website announced a new Burial album, and Untrue was released 6 weeks later on November 5th. Although both albums have been met with much critical acclaim, Burial remained anonymous until August 2008, stating in a past interview that “only five people know I make tunes”. Burial’s best trump card: The handful of tracks with sampled vocals stand well above their brethren, possessing an almost manipulative quality of quivering emotional directness. Far from speaking of final resting places, the overriding vibe is one of homelessness and rootlessness, and the nagging feeling that something important has been mislaid. Thematically and sonically, the closest reference point is Tricky’s eerie, foreboding “Broken Homes” (ironically, Burial’s own “Broken Home” is perhaps the album’s most upbeat moment, sampling a winsome reggae crooner); I’m also reminded of the black eyeliner melodrama of parts of DJ Shadow’s The Private Press. Some may scoff at such middlebrow reference points, but it’s these resemblances, rather than any fidelity to inner-London dance music, which makes Burial’s music such a viable crossover candidate.
