Burial - “Stolen Dog”
It’s a drab, damp day here in Chicago. I’d be complaining except that it’s somehow enhancing this new Burial material that’s been bestowed upon us (just in time for the weekend). That’s right - as if the recently released Burial/Four Tet/Thom Yorke double A-side single wasn’t enough, Kode 9’s Hyperdub label has just released the first new solo Burial material since 2007 (no April Fool’s).
The Street Halo EP features three new tracks, all combining some of those signature, echoey, processed vocals on top dark, ambient shuffling but in a decidedly 2011 tone. The new generation of U.K. electronic music makers like Jamie xx and Koreless are clearly indebted to the sounds from Burial’s classic, Untrue. So it’s as perfect of a time as any for the master to come back out of the shadows and add his touch to the new wave dubstep-influenced electronic music .
