Burial - Rodent

[Candiru]

Nah, he's just homeless. He only releases a track if he breaks into someone's studio and manages to record one track before getting caught. If any of you IDMers walk into your studio and see a pile of cigarette butts, and a couple of empty bottles of Mad Dog 20/20, you'll know you have been visited by teh Burials. He also may have tried on your gf's lingerie cuz he's like that, ya know. 

[brisk]

I'm almost certain he'll be able to live a reasonably comfortable life off royalties, without the need to work elsewhere, even with London's lolworthy rent/mortgage prices. The first two albums likely continue to sell really well and he's become pretty prolific again with his singles/EP's. He has over 200k listeners on Spotify every month and likely sells a lot through itunes/the other digital platforms too. All those compilation royalties soon add up too. I'm sure he'll be able to eat In McDonalds any time he wishes

Is that what the sirens are all about - He records it to dictaphone just in time before the fuzz arrive, then moves to another studio to do the same thing (hence the tiny track snippets)

[Candiru]

I like his music up through Truant/Rough Sleeper but maybe he's into other things these days and music isn't his main hobby. There's only so much you can do with this niche Burial is in.

Waluigi and Wilhelm Screamix holy shit I am ded. Cannot stop laughing.

[Hugh Mughnus]

That's just like.... your opinion man.

 

[beerwolf]

mildly headbanged my noggin all the way through the first play of that

 

can't say it's a masterpiece but it sure is catchy

[BoomTssPhace]

Is he just taking the piss and entertaining himself by seeing how many ways he can polarize his audience with this genre musical chairs?

[Kavinsky]

 

After not having released an album in a decade, I wonder is he still living off his earnings from the first two? He doesn't do live gigs. Or working a day job somewhere in anonymity, maybe he works at Hyper Dub?

 

same with Chris Cunningham and Jai Paul, probly working at a store or studio somewhere, lol

He must get a decent amount of royalties from Adam Curtis docos alone

 

why should he not have a day job ? many musicians need one.

 

also CC works with car and perfume companies, i think he earns enough with 1 spot for the whole year.

Actually like the track and the simplicity of it. "The Wilhelm Screamix" is tooo feaking good.

[jules]

I totally agree with the repetition of that vocal sample in the burial track. aside from that, it is pretty cool.

[jules]

also, i hope this doesnt mean no christmas release this year...

[Hugh Mughnus]

holy shit

 

people agree with me on something

 

 

marks calendar***

[sweepstakes]

Diaper Hub

[kirm]

Yeah agree would be better with bit less vocal and more of that funky sax!

 

Having said that do like it. Its certainly the most danceable thing he has done for time. Would sound wicked played out

[Ivan Ooze]

total fucking meh from both, where is the magic from box of dub?

 

[beerwolf]

I do miss the dark energy of previous Burial

 

He seems a bit lightweight nowadays

[Pipenik]

What gets my goat more than the vocal loop is the muffled steel drum sounding shit alternating between two notes throughout the whole track. That just seems inexcusably lazy. I mean I guess the melodic and harmonic elements in his songs have always been pretty simple and repetitive but I can't recall ever being this put off by it.

[fumi]

also, i hope this doesnt mean no christmas release this year...

 

 

Let's hope in this instance, Christmas didn't come early.

[Kavinsky]

from the most loved to the most hated with only 1 track

good job !

You're walking down a dark alleyway on a cold, rainy night. Somewhere off in the distance, a singer croons soulful, evocative lamentations through the ethereal fog which permeates your inner-city existence. Around the corner, you hear the sound of a bullet casing hitting the worn, broken concrete, almost as if it were happening in slow motion. Suddenly the eerily familiar, almost too familiar, clickety-clack of a lightly-syncopated drumbeat descends upon you, punctuating the rise of Mary Anne Hobbes' spectre from a nearby skip. Slowly it dawns on you that there's no way out; you're stuck in every Burial song ever made.

 

 

LOL

 

A+

 

 

This would of been a great season conclusion to Twin Peaks

 

damn good cup of coffee (in this McDonalds)

[fumi]

I had another listen to this, foolishly believing it had all been some bad dream.

 

Silly me.

[Kavinsky]

ok lets analyse this from another angle , would this track sound amazing live , like played in a good club ?
