Untrue

Product Information

The last voice we hear on Tunes 2011 to 2019 is that of The Wire’s inscrutable villain Marlo Stanfield: “Don’t rush me on shit. I’ll get at you when I’m at you.” Stanfield goes from being untouchable to considered a diminished force, but fundamentally stays undefeated. Given that all his moves seem loaded in one way or another, it’s easy to imagine Burial wielding this sample with deliberately renewed purpose. He’s there when he wants to be, out of the shadows, often at a moment and in a form you don’t expect. He was the beneficiary of an unrepeatable set of cultural and technological circumstances, but he’s massaged the myth adroitly. It makes following him as fun as any other musician working today—so we remain hooked, even if we kid ourselves that we’re over it. a b Christgau, Robert (February 2008). "Consumer Guide". MSN Music.

Untrue is the second and most recent studio album by British electronic music producer Burial. Released on 5 November 2007 by Hyperdub, the album was produced by Burial in 2007 using the digital audio editing software Sound Forge. Untrue builds on the sound established by Burial on his eponymous debut album from the previous year, notably through its more prominent use of pitch-shifted and time-stretched vocal samples. The album, like Burial's previous work, also draws on influences from UK garage, ambient, and hardcore music.

Beyond the sonic resemblances and a shared aura of desolation, there are other parallels between Burial and Joy Division. Both released startling, out-of-nowhere debuts that introduced a revelatory sound that felt visual, making your ears gaze into the distance. Both followed those up with immaculate sequels that completed and perfected the initial statement. Neither released a third studio album—although in Burial’s case, that remains a (seemingly faint) possibility. Birchmeier, Jason. "Burial". AllMusic. Archived from the original on 5 January 2014 .

Of all the artists past and present who claim to let their music do their talking for them, Burial is one of the elite band of whom this truly is the case. In fact, so reluctant is he to engage with the cult-of-personality hoopla that surrounds almost every modern producer and musician of merit, that he remains a genuine recluse; he has never appeared live, only one obliquely-angled publicity photograph is known to exist, and the number of interviews he has given can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Beyond the overt religiosity of titles like “Prayer” and “Prophecy,” there’s a feeling in Burial’s music of reaching out in the darkness to higher powers. When collective dreaming—whether via progressive political projects or music movements like punk or rave—fades from the scene, people look to other sources of strength: traditional organized religions but also pulp spirituality, quasi-magical techniques of positive thinking, and other feel-good salves.

Burial’s initial intent was always to stay true to the radical anonymity and facelessness of rave culture and underground techno. Like some of us, he grew up fascinated by the enigmatic and outlandish artist names—LTJ Bukem, Rufige Kru, Foul Play, 2 Bad Mice, Dr S Gachet—that offered no clues to the color or class of these shadowy operators, no hint of where they came from, or even how many people were involved.
