Two weeks ago I had never heard of Burial. Then the best-of-the-year lists came out, and this album was on virtually every one of them. Soon after, a friend sent me a link to this album with a simple note: "this is some intense shit"Throwing this on for the first time reminds me of the first time I heard DJ Shadow or Massive Attack, in the way that Endtroducing and Mezzanine didn't fit any genre but created an atmosphere entirely their own. While sounding completely different, this is also the update of that sound - dark, lonely, complex and beautiful music that beats the shit out of you in the way only great music can.
Burial - Untrue
