Alright, so the second album of this genius supposedly arrives in November.
I. Can't. ing. Wait.
Looks like it's going to have a bit more of an uplifting feel than the first cd, Burial's been giving hints with his newest productions like Ghost Hardware (made it on the cd) or Unite (track of the year so far for me, looks like it will stay exclusively on the Box Of Dub compilation) which sounded fantastic.
There's been an unbelievable hype going on about the tune 'Archangel'. There was a short sample on the Hyperdub myspace, but it seem it's been taken down. Has anyone got the sample by any chance? |

| quote: | If there's one LP that could yet challenge Pinch for dubstep album of the year, it's Burial's. The secretive south Londoner has been hard at work throughout the summer and finally the fruits of his labour, Untrue have a release date in November on Hyperdub.
While a full album review will have to wait until next month's column, one track from the album has stone cold, instant classic written all over it. It's name is "Archangel". At first, it sounds like many Burial dubs: dark, spacey, with rolling drums and popping El-B-style woodblocks. Then the vocal comes in. Wherever you are when you hear this vocal, let me warn you now: please make sure you're sitting down.
Much of "Archangel" is familiar Burial: the Bad Company grimey synths, the deep, emotive Detroit strings and the Foul Play touches. What marks it out as entirely new territory for Burial is the way his infatuation with vocals comes so prominently to the fore, as if inventing some new kind of dark vocal pop.
"Holding you/ Let it be alone… let it be alone… loving you/ Kissing you/ Tell me I belong…tell me I belong…"
On paper the lyrics seem unremarkable. To the ears they're heartstring dynamite. Rolling through the fore of the track, the pitchbent vocals form syrupy melodies like a Todd Edwards classic or Akon r&b bomb. "Archangel" is a lament for everyone who's ever loved so hard it hurts, fallen so deeply little else matters, given until they're dry, cared until they've ascended to a higher place. Burial did all that in one track. Now, are you ready for the rest of "Untrue?" |
Damn, this is so well written. I need to hear that! |

Source? The amount of good reviews and hype around it was nothing less than staggering in my book... |

I missed it as well. Looks like noone has recorded a sample, not even on the dubstep forums :( |
