Haunting and deep: Burial at his finest

  • We Say...

    Sometimes brevity gets you further than expansion. Between his debut and second albums, Burial offered a teasing look at the forthcoming Untrue with this three-track 12-inch, and the way it sustains a moody sereneness makes it my favorite of his releases. The title track, which would show up on album number two, is Burial's haunted/haunting beat alloy at its friskiest (those tick-tock snares) and most airy. The two B-sides are just as good: "Shutta" captures the same melancholy feel as the big hit "Archangel" itself via more abstract means, with vocals sunk deeper in the mix and a plangent little guitar figure finishing its cry. "Exit Wounds" is like closing-credits music for the afterlife.
