Burial bringt dieser Tage eine neue, stark textorientierte EP unter dem Titel “Antidawn” heraus. Das Artwork basiert auf einer Arbeit der Malerin Maya Hewitt. Digital ist das Album bereits erhältlich, die CD- und Vinyl-Editionen erscheinen Ende des Monats.
“Antidawn reduces Burial’s music to just the vapours. The record explores an interzone between dislocated, patchwork songwriting and eerie, open-world, game space ambience. In the resulting no man’s land, lyrics take precedence over song, lonely phrases colour the haze, a stark and fragmented structure makes time slow down. Antidawn seems to tell a story of a wintertime city, and something beckoning you to follow it into the night. The result is both comforting and disturbing, producing a quiet and uncanny glow against the cold. Sometimes, as it enters ‘a bad place’, it takes your breath away. And time just stops.” (Hyperdub)
