“After the surprise success of his self-titled, low-key debut on Hyperdub , Burial returns with an eagerly awaited follow up album, ‘Untrue’. The new record is weird soul music, hypersoul, lovingly processing spectral female voices into vaporised R&B and smudged 2step garage. Voices are blurred, smeared, pitched up, pitched down and pitch bent until their content becomes irrelevant and they whisper their saccharin sweet nothings into the void.”

-Hyperdub Records (includes an interview with Burial)

I’ve always had a bit of a weakness for dub, dub plate, garage, 2step, et al. I heard about this long awaited album the other day and figured I’d check it out. It isn’t at all what I was expecting. It’s dark. Haunting. Possessed. Like a processed version of Portishead squeezed through the looking glass.

Here’s a sample track for your listening pleasure. Burial - Endorphin
