The Premature Burial: Burial the Pallbearer vs Burial the Innovator
A fantastic in-depth essay deconstructing the music of Burial. An excerpt:
The connection of Burial’s music with London goes beyond the simple association of certain musical styles with the places where they’re produced or celebrated, however. Sound effects, again taken from films and video games, also play an important part. In the context of this music the metallic noises of falling gun cartridges, drawn jungle knives and rifles being reloaded in the music are not so much threatening indicators of urban warfare as the non-specific background sound of an inhabited industrialised environment. The ubiquitous hiss and crackle of vinyl records that overlaps with recordings of rain on empty streets has been seen as a metaphor for (musical, cultural) decay, which it can be, but in a less complicated sense it describes the dirty, weathered and rainy streets of London with amazing efficiency.
Burial - Archangel (Phaseone Remix) (via phaseonestl)
This remix didn’t really grab me at first — didn’t seem like much was going on. But after those first few seconds when the beat kicks in it becomes something great; taking the original and just giving it a bit of a twist.
Eleven Tigers - Stableface (via terradnb)
And here’s another Eleven Tigers post why not. This album is probably my favourite musical find of the last few months, easy. If you like your dubstep fresh out of the freezer, you’ll like this guy. Promise.
Recommendations?
I posted the call-out to Twitter yesterday and I’ll ask here too. Since I felt like extending “Break Week” I thought I’d ask if anyone out there had something to suggest for this “week’s” theme.
Anything dub/drum’n bass/dubstep/breakbeat related stuck in your player lately? Let me know about it!

Burial & Four Tet - Moth
I don’t know how this track manages to be head-bob-inducing and energetic while also being so chilled-out and relaxing, but I love it.

Sepalcure - Every Day of My Life
Without a doubt my favorite track off their debut EP, Love Pressure. Perfect for those long rainy day drives. Contemplative, emotive, enduring.
I was going to post something from Sepalcure for this string of posts this week, but I see unfolding has beaten me to it. :)
