Not yours, yours is fine. Just pretty sure I've seen Dev have this exact change with about 50 people on this site by now, only most of it happened years ago.

Haha yeah. Don't have to be sorry for asking.



I find this album very interesting because I see huge progressions in Burial's sound through the years. The Kindred EP was probably the biggest leap, where I think the sounds on that release are actually quite a bit more evolved and advanced compared to this. And not just in the typical sense of "maturation" or whatever. I actually think the productions present in his latest 3 EPs are just better in certain ways. Which isn't to say that the music itself is better, just that he's found ways to evolve his sound to the point where he can do a lot more with it - specifically, creating tracks that sprawl, expand and develop over 10 minute durations. And Kindred is pretty much perfect to me. But so is this, and it's better.



I'm not sure if it's a matter of an artist working better within well-defined rules like the shorter and more repetitive tracks here. There's probably at least some truth to that, but also the broken-down aesthetic that exists on every moody and emotional track here is just so perfect that I don't see it ever growing old for me or being "bettered" by any change in production techniques regardless of how rich and layered Kindred and "Come Down To Us" are. I love his newer output but damn I'd fucking love to hear a full-length from him now with shorter and more focused tracks like this.

I'd say the first leap is between this and Ghost Halo. That one being mainly sonical. Street Halo is
even darker than Untrue, mainly by means of sounding more rough and heavier. Structurally it's no
Kindred yet but the sound palette is there.

He might as well do hour long tracks at this point and employ everything minimal and ambient music have to offer.
