Burial, Untrue

[@beepst]

Burial's music is the soundtrack for those 4 am - 5 am walks. Where street lights and the dark blue sky feel almost ethereal and magical, and the silence of the environment is almost claustrophobic.

[@Tryler_]

Why does it make the music 100X better!?!?!?

[@Koruvax]

Or when you're the only one on an N bus, you just you upstairs watrching the world go by and the driver, being alert as ever, keeping you safe. And the trees keep going by

[@BuenButter6211]

This is how an after-party feels, the walk home, the barking of the dogs of the neighbor, the city lights and that tiny smile one has because it was a great night but you feel tired out of your mind You made magic Burial, absolute magic

[@maxono1465]

True! Such a satisfying feeling

[@SoulWhite]

Nothing like it in the world. It's that music type that is a whole state of being. Absolutely unique.

[@sangsompride7648]

Perfect no other words needed

[@xX_dash_Xx]

for some of us it feels more like not being invited to the party in the first place. really a loner song imo

[@SirUncleCid]

The coming down from the ecstasy

[@ExPLOiXMusic]

14 years after this album was released and still sounds from another world

[@gerdownes910]

The whole album is just in it's own league. So inventive yet so simple. All he did really was bring a heavy dark ambient vibe into the 2-step vibe. Imho this tune in particular is arguably the best garage/2-step track ever made.

[@worwor1721]

Can you guys recommend any similar sounds?

[@ExPLOiXMusic]

@@worwor1721 Other songs similar to Burial that i liked a lot was "Kazukii - Relapse" and "Blvck Ceiling - Fountains"

[@ethhics]

@@worwor1721 Try Shah - Revert, it has exactly the same off-sounding drums, but it's more streamlined

[@davethered1981]

14 years ... now I feel old but yes, this sounds just as fresh as it did back then, the man is a genius

[@ProtozoaSound]

Every time I hear this album I'm just like BRO WHO HURT YOU?? I've been trying to find a way to describe the feel of this album and the self-titled... for a long time I thought it was like "sad" / "depressing"-feeling but now they almost invoke the feeling of the aftermath of sadness if that makes sense? Like looking back on sadness with a matured mind.

[@wids]

Damn thats beautiful

[@HENRIVICTORIOUS1]

If this album was a food, it'd be slightly bitter but not in a malicious way if ygm

[@joebloggs7956]

just heard that properly for first time, been clearing the houses where the 7 lords rule

[@InstallaFriend]

It's more like chronic depression as opposed to just feeling depressed: hurt and injustice have coloured your spirit to the point where those are the things you identify with most, because to do otherwise would be to forget to be good.

[@leifbhubert]

I`d call it resilience. I experience resilience when i express myself in a honest way

[@Defeshh]

It's raining very heavily, the leaded sky suggested me to listen to this album once more. Naturally I had to do it.

[@beskabl]

Defeshh Same

[@pascalbrutal9520]

Wtf same

[@ethhics]

"leaded sky" is one of the most fitting formulations I have heard in a long time

[@joem.8555]

Was on the night train back home from a trip to NYC with my girlfriend by my side. Was half asleep listening to this with my head on her shoulder as I watched the city lights turn from a sea of them, to less and less, til eventually all I saw was a small light glowing in a sea of dark before I fell asleep for the rest of the ride.

[@zoric9743]

ok

[@AarnavDasari]

and then you woke up

[@Tapepusher]

and realised it was all true.

[@julian.castro18]

You should break up to feel this album more deeply jk

[@joem.8555]

@@julian.castro18 haha I've been out of that relationship for years now. Definitely a good break up album too though.

[@brunomarcial7214]

This is my go to album when I’m laying on my bed at 2 am staring at the ceiling and just thinking about my life

[@Coldwinddd]

То чувство когда трек настолько идеален, что наслаждаешься каждой секундой )

[@edmondmills4070]

Is this track for everyone? No, I don't think so. But you can't deny how much atmosphere it carries. I don't listen to it regularly, but the times I do, man does it carry me away to a specific rainy afternoon. God bless

[@willmcpherson2]

3:05 The way he builds the track back up is so epic

[@matthewstreet845]

There is literally nothing else that will ever sound as good as this or evoke the same emotions and vibe. Truly one of a kind

[@hyperlock]

Every song is perfect in Untrue. Totally my favourite album of all time.

[@sky-zc3uz]

what are your others?

[@rgzfuentes]

@@sky-zc3uz there are no others imo just this one

[@robertordonez9242]

So many elements to this song

[@TheGadadj]

After listening this album for many years, since it was released, I can honestly say that I will never get sick of it. It's just impossible. Timeless

[@LikeAGroove]

The whole album is a masterpiece, but honestly I see this as the main star of the album over Archangel

[@Professor-Scientist]

yes true unbelievable talent, my fav is etched head plate 🥰

[@longhornsrock44]

oh for sure, this song is number 1 in the album.

[@cablevamp3163]

Yeah this song has so much depth to it

[@wids]

Imma have to agree

[@davethered1981]

I am a huge Archangel fan but the more I listen down the years I am inclined to agree with you

[@fellipeteixeira9217]

This is so original When a genius creates a brand new music genre.

[@danavixen6274]

Two years after Untrue's release, I remember buying this in late 2009. As absolutely cathartic then as it is now. A moving masterpiece from beginning to end. I love how he sampled Beyoncé's Resentment for this track. Masterfully done. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sfglim5341]

The way I feel inside

[@melodylee4405]

This album instantly produces an altered state of consciousness in the listener, much the way meditation does. Trying to wrap my brain around it is impossible, so I just go with it.

[@FrogGG]

Always reminded me of a ride on the top bunk of a bus in London very early before your dreaded shift, melancholic tone with the bus throwing your body around. It isn't sadness for me but this small period of indifference where this static noise and distorted beats is so too familiar.

[@thoughtfox12]

Bro you described this so perfectly “N22… to West Mawkington”

[@RaylorForeverInADream]

Fuck man this whole album. I would feel that I was in a completely different universe. Running with this, before anyone was up in the morning. Sun barley risen. Life was so hard at that point in time and this was an escape to just feel all those emotions and come to peace with them every morning. Have my escape and be ready to take on my depression, one day at a time. Thank you burial for creating this.

[@hawkhollar1228]

Drugs and alcohol will do that to you

[@xtaf82]

I feel you man. Hope you're doing better nowadays, much love bro

[@johanstrand9352]

15 years after release this hit me during a drought of music. Nothing to be liked. Nothing to enjoy and obsess over. Now I find myself dancing to this tune at 2AM awaking from my fucked up sleep cycle. I love this creation

[@barbaraavina2551]

Genius. It's like discovering an entirely new realm of Music. The sound is so unique and melodic.

[@pezushka]

Yes, Burial ripped a hole through the fabric of music, he showed us this other world, this is why he is a genius and why he will never be forgotten.

[@johnblake5114]

This may sound weird but some of burial’s songs take me back in time like around 2007 or 2008

[@DirtiestSoul]

Same

[@postman232]

why weird though? the late 00's needed such desperate sound, so it's completely reasonable if you're mentally time travelling with it

[@DirtiestSoul]

@@postman232 for me it's because I discovered his music recently, and I searched the date of release of this song, now I can associate with my memories of that years

[@edi9890]

Same is time travel and all the stuff happened between 2007, truly… untrue stuff

[@barbieheimer]

Because it was released in 2007, so you're fine

[@prod.hypnale]

I can't stop listening to this music. I first heard it when I was 6, through my stepfather. I lived in London for 3 months, and now, the challenges I face pull me deeper into its atmosphere. It reminds me of my childhood-those mysterious moments in London: night walks in parks, museums, food, and the vibe. Take me back to 2009.

[@jaimieboy999]

This song describes the feeling of deep hurt and sadness i carry through my life, i was around 15 when this came out and now im 32, it just gets heavier as the years go on, not i feel like a hardened shell with an extremely soft centre full of pain and thoughts of no more hope and point in protecting it any longer.

the melancholic ,haunted world he echoed in his music since the release of the debut has not lost it´s power. (well...looks like we are living in even darker times)somehow, they aren´t aging and i am always a little shocked, when i look at their release dates. i can´t put an age on his releases. somehow , i always listen to a new record, each time i play them.

[@Sam-by3uk]

I had an very cinematic dream to this song. I wish I could remember all the details. I was alone in a spaceship and the AI system that controls the ship and I were in love. At the end of the dream there was a problem on the ship and I had to use the escape pod and leave. The AI couldn't follow me. The dream ended with my pod blasting off into space leaving the AI alone forever on the ship. The AI became a hologram person for a second and glitched like he was trying to follow me through the closed pod bay doors. It was so sad. That was like 10 years ago and I still feel awful about leaving him.
