  1. Burial - Antidawn EP - January 6, 2022

     

    The record explores an interzone between dislocated, patchwork songwriting and eerie, open-world, game space ambience. 

    In the resulting no man's land, lyrics take precedence over song, lonely phrases colour the haze, a stark and fragmented structure makes time slow down.

    Antidawn seems to tell a story of a wintertime city, and something beckoning you to follow it into the night. The result is both comforting and disturbing, producing a quiet and uncanny glow against the cold. Sometimes, as it enters ‘a bad place,’ it takes your breath away. And time just stops.

  2. New side project that debuted some new tunes at Glastonbury this weekend. Sounds really good. Some have them have some real grit to them them and it's cool to hear them so raw and unpolished. They put their stuff on Soundcloud. There was mention of Nigel when they announced the project so I would assume an LP/EP is on its way soon and I'd imagine some tour dates. Solid.

  3. Happy Holidays all

     

    As the scene's keenest scribe-cum-producer, Blackdown's blog and Keysound label were at the core of the genre’s early sound, placing him in proximity to key players including Burial. Like we mentioned, Burial’s remix of ‘Crackle Blues’ in 2006 was, just like his debut 12”, sorely overlooked at the time, and remains one of his tightest and most effective garagey/woodblock productions.

    On the ’Shock Power Of Love’ EP they check in 15 years later for a 2-step pow wow, passing the peace-pipe over cuts of Detroit-inspired garage and deep-fried, crispy London soul music. Blackdown gives clear nods to his 313 inspiration on both sides, framing his restless subs and garage swing with sampled, house declarations and soaring pads in ‘The Journey VIP’ while nodding to Juan Atkins and Red Planet via Geeneus in a remix of Heatmap’s ‘Arklight.’ Burial is at his signature best on the other two, frothing choral vocals into a scissored 2-step shuffle on ‘Dark Gethsemane’ before rolling out fathoms deep into the iridescent trance leads and scalp-stroking Reese bass licks of ’Space Cadet.’

    my take on this: he's using the NFT format to test whether or not fans would notice/react to things like this, and it turns out we have.

    when the soundcloud activity started back in 2015, he tried to upload another artist's track (as "80s tite") to test the copyright algorithm - and it worked, sc picked it up despite it being so obscure. NFT is such a new thing, he'd be stupid not to hide files in it and guage the reaction.

    btw, how much did NIN fans freak out about Ghosts 37 and 38 when they were discovered? i wanna get a base line here.

    Maybe I’d be inclined to agree with that if Weirdcore didn’t upload a step by step guide to unlock a troll

    I'd listen chronologically and stop around 2010 (there's some good stuff beyond that but it became a case of severely diminishing returns imho).

    Clarence Park (2001)
    Ceramics Is The Bomb EP (2001)
    Empty the Bones of You (2003)
    Body Riddle (2006)
    Throttle Furniture EP (2006)
    Throttle Clarence EP (2006)
    Throttle Promoter EP (2007)
    Turning Dragon (2008)
    Totems Flare (2009)

    Don't forget Feast/Beast. There is a lot of real quality material on there.

    I applaud him for trying different stuff even if it's stuff I really don't care for.

    Same here. One of my fav things about Clark was that he never really sat still and kept exploring what made him excited creatively. Unfortunately for me, it’s not the same things I enjoy at this point, but that doesn’t make this shit. I’m sure there are people that do enjoy it and he is obviously proud of it. Clark’s gotta Clark. Maybe he feels like this direction has legs...

  7. One of my friends and teammates at work took her life on Wednesday. We have a really close team of about 15 and there was not 1 single person that even had a shred of a clue that she was going through anything, let alone something that dark. It’s such a shock and watching the ripple of devastation run through is horrible. Shit is no joke. Take care of each other and be kind. You never ever know what someone is going through...

  8. Yea, I may be a little biased as I absolutely love all of the post-hiatus stuff. LT is the only thing in their whole catalog that I am meh about.  But I think this one is a return to form and is absolutely on par with all of their stuff. Having the visuals on first go certainly helped. I like the production on this as well. At first, it did seem a little clean, but I dig how much the bass stands out and the snares cut through a few times rather nicely. The ending is absolutely brilliant as well. Looking forward]rd to it arriving for sure.
