So recently Ive been listening to This Guy, Burial. (William Bevan)
His music is what i would describe as post club, and i mean that in a literal Sense.
Its music to walk through a city in the rain with.
It also has undertones of serious emotion which it fashions with Girl next door vocals, which are toned up or down accordingly.
You can really feel what the music is trying to say.
Ahhh i'll shut up because i sound like im typing a review for the Daily Fail or the Guardian.
Here's a quote from a very rare interview with him
He's talking about how the music he makes can make him feel lonely, but wrap him in his own security blanket:
Sometimes you’re surrounded by mates but you’re not surrounded by friends. You feel protective of people, because no matter who we are, we all return to quite a vulnerable place, a flat, mates, a family, a room or whatever. You can see through all that stuff, a lot of young people artificially take on adult issues, that have maybe been pushed at them, or maybe they’re living out an adult relationship, proper life issues, maybe their family isn't looking out for them anymore, other serious stuff that you can't take lightly. I've seen that if you take on that stuff early on, it fucks you up. My new tunes are about that, wanting an angel watching over you, when there's nowhere to go and all you can do is sit in McDonalds late at night, not answering your phone.
What i really like about Burial, more than anything is that he's faceless, not many pictures of him exist, he doesn't do live shows or pick up awards, he just makes music, he tells no-one who he is and he admits that only a few close family members know who he is in the music world.
It took great lengths to find out his real name.
Search for him on youtube if curious.
Either, In Mcdonalds or Near dark. Both are classic Burial vibes.
No skating since last pics.
Not photos either.
Talk soon gays!
