77 - Street Halo EP / Kindred EP, Burial

Friends,

I would like to say something about this release, in particular the Kindred EP (as Street Halo was released last year)

I went to listen- outside, smoking in complete darkness- and I started dancing, honestly moved beyond words
I'm really speechless about it, I don't know how to really phrase what I want to say about this record. I do hope any who read this enjoy it as much as I have (and will, from now on)

Kindred is among the most staggering pieces of music to have ever been made; I am so grateful to have been around on Earth at the time to witness this achievement of Burial's
I am proud to preserve it digitally here on the internet, for the rest of our computer age

"My tunes are a bit rubbish and messy but it's all I know."1

Burial's discography is still small, having only released two albums. His second, Untrue (the masterpiece to which this quote refers), arrived five years ago
He's been working for a while

"One day I want to make a tune people can have a dance to" 2

And here we are in 2012, listening to what came next. Here is the evolution of a hallowed and now-historic trademark sound, his first rebirth- and fuck, put simply, these "tunes" are fucking unreal. Unreal. There are infinite numbers of twists, shocks, moments of unparalleled beauty and awe. They very well may move you to tears. It's got the best dance beats ever produced, and a bass presence like nothing before it (not even Untrue!)

Burial is the most singular electronic artist of all time. I'm 20 years old and I've watched the world's first great producer-artist come into being, and on February 10, 2012, I got to listen to one of my favorite albums ever made for the first time

Really really happy about it
Michael
