Designspotter loves Burial Untrue [Hyperdub]

This is a record that creates atmosphere. Most of it is innocuous enough, seemingly content to float along without ever becoming all that imposing. But the music constructed by dubstep phenomenon Burial soon creeps into your consciousness and establishes itself, building a haunting ambiance that burns softly, always mindful of restraint yet never ceasing to be relentless in its frantic repetition of nervous beats. Composed of 13 separate tracks, Burial creates such harmony within the record and between takes that the album reveals itself as a unique whole that should really be listened to in one sitting, no preference given to any particular piece. It envelops the listener over time in a way that is impossible for a single track to accomplish. It sort of begins and ends in one drawn-out moment, and it soon becomes difficult to recall with any precision the details of the experience. Untrue sculpts a memorable soundscape that does well to show the brilliant result of fusing ambient meandering with a hip-hop aesthetic. At the moment, Burial is unmatched in his ability to craft compelling dubstep records and pull the discipline out from its underground dwellings. by David Plante ( Number 08 )
