It has been said that Burial doesn't make rave music, but rather music about raving, and perhaps this has been the most fitting description to date of Burial's unmistakable style. Waves of washed-out echoes carry fragments of melancholic songs over coarse, stumbling breaks, reminding one of long subway rides home with the night's ecstatic moments now a distant memory, and the pounding beats replaced by a ringing in one's ears. Burial's 'South London Boroughs EP' appeared in 2005 on Kode9's newly founded Hyperdub label and immediately brought the anonymous producer to the attention of the music press. The EP was followed by two albums, 'Burial' and 'Untrue', netting Burial recognition far beyond the dubstep and electronic music scenes and a nomination for the UK's prestigious Mercury Music Prize in 2008.
