Burial - Untrue (2LP) [Hyperdub]

REPRESS! If there is one LP that could challenge Pinch for dubstep album of the year, this is it. The enigmatic producer from South London has been working tirelessly all summer and, finally, here are the fruits of his labor. This album is a new manifesto of experimental soul, where spectral female voices are carefully processed into ethereal R&B and hazy 2-step garage.

Vocal lines blur, distort, rise and fall in pitch, twisting until they detach from their original context, whispering sweet and melancholic words into the void. The album maintains the crackle-infused nostalgia and complex syncopations of his debut, haunted by the ghosts of rave, but also reveals new facets of Burial, with a warmer and brighter energy.

Double LP version.
