new burial?

Sampling up Cheryl Cole?

Shouldn't Kode9 be posting something cryptic about a new Burial EP before year's end? I sure hope so; these Xmas EPs are such a treat.

Rival Dealer came out a year ago next week, where the hell did 2014 go!

It's gonna be a double album. Burial goes prog with epic woodblock solos and a concept involving dragons and sorcery... on tha streetz.

*kicks some leaves about in the garden*

*drops used bullet casings on garage floor*

it's going to be a follow up to his gender confused release of 2014

Rival Dealer was the best EP of 2013. Deal with it.

Actually a relevant concept since he's a big Dark Souls fan! (dunno if the reference was already intended or not, sorry)

leave burial alone ;(

He already dusted off an unreleased track from the archives for that Hyperdub comp, surely that's enough for this year?

Seriously though, I'm a little less excited after Rival Dealer. If he does release something I hope it doesn't follow that style. I really liked where he was going with Truant/Rough Sleeper.

The same song lasts for over 5 minutes, Burial doesn't have that kind of attention span - he would've fit at least 7 tracks in that space.

I want another Untrue

so I can listen to it standing in the rain staring out to streetlights and buses and McDonalds

so much this

is this song going to be about cutting off his penis?

Rival Dealer was Lulu-tier cringetastic. It still smarts a bit.

The first track of Rival Dealer is still really good, but when it gets into that cheesy-ass 80s shit is where he lost me.

I love all that shit, it was the perfect cheesy Christmas EP.

Been giving Kindred Ep a few spins of late. Those tracks are unbeatable.

^ true that

and Kindred is served with zero cheese, after that EP he seems to tip-toed into a bit of dodgy territory (imo)

ye wouldn't know, haven't heard rival dealer. Truant was sick tho

I found it fascinating, I think he specifically was channeling cheesy, awkward and overall uncomfortable sample sources and music references. Like the concept was "terrible music you liked as a moody teenager that was emotionally stirring then but now painful nostalgia you want to forget about." It's something less appealing than his usual vague and universal melancholy vibe. That's my pet theory anyway.

If anything he left a comfort zone.
