This producer remains elusive so much so that he's anonymous. It'd be a shame to harp on about dubstep because the sublime effect of Burial's music shouldn't be limited to genre classification. Instead, it's better to talk about the sheer cinematic feel,'Untrue' can sound both svelte and sparse, reflecting London

The entire reason I started listening to Burial (before you had even mentioned him to me) was this quote posted on my friend Roo's Facebook:

"I like putting uplifting elements in something that’s moody as fuck. Make them appear for a moment, and then take them away. That’s the sound I love ... like embers in the tune ... little glowing bits of vocals ... they appear for a second, then fade away and you’re left with an empty, sort of air-duct sound ... something that’s eerie and empty. Like you’re waiting just inside a newsagent in the rain ... a little sanctuary, then you walk out in it. I love that."
Obviously he knows his own music pretty well but that's the most accurate description I've ever heard of his sound.

that's just it. last night i was walking home from campus and it was pissing it down and was like ice rain. i popped into colman news, bought some crisps and came outside again and felt fine - i'm in love with 'shell of light', that song sorts you out.
