Burial - Kindred

Now available for digi download, prior to the forthcoming vinyl release. Via Bleep… As if from nowhere, Burial touches down with three more lingering moments of Burial brilliance. Opening number, ‘Kindred’, reveals itself under a shroud of distortion, virtuous-sounding vocals loosely elevating themselves over terse motorik bass and percussion. ‘Loner’ begins with a tense temperament yet soon picks the pace up a notch or two with a quick shuffling rhythm and oscillating synths, a half-way point pause providing respite and reflection. ‘Ashtray Wasp’ closes things with a sombre and contemplative gambit, driving rhythms pushing forward and crystalline touches adding light to a distortion-heavy freefall.
