Alex Swhear goes in on the recent compilation from the mythical electronic producer.
Burial & Zomby connect.
Peter Holslin jogs on a treadmill… in space Burial’s new song “Temple Sleeper” reminds me of the themes to those cheesy ’90s sci-fi TV shows that were awesome precisely because of the low-budget special effects and space-time continuum-warping plotlines. The white-label cut (out via UK’s Keysound) is upbeat by Burial’s standards, and what sets it […]
