Burial comes out 2008-08-06 by Iai EMERITUS | 9 Comments | Perhaps in anticipation of winning this year's Mercury Music Prize and not being able to actually pick the thing up, Burial posted a bulletin on his MySpace account today announcing his real name. As suspected, after the information was leaked by The Independant and BMI a few months ago (not to mention Hot Chip), his real name is William Bevan. Those who suspected foul play after finding out that a Google search for William Bevan returns a funeral director as the top match will be disappointed to know that it's just a funny coincidence, and that Burial is not in fact Thom Yorke, or Aphex Twin, or Kode9, or any of the other crazy suggestions being thrown around.

Huh! Well so much for the mystery. I like this guy, he's really nice, and all about the music for sure. Very humble too. I think he's gonna get a lot bigger than he is now.
