Burial: The Electronic Musician Who Redefined Dance Music
From Abandon to Abandonment
Welcome to the subreddit dedicated to the enigmatic artist known as Burial. Under the pseudonym William Bevan, he has released boundary-pushing electronic music that has captivated listeners worldwide.
While dance music is often associated with hedonism and escapism, Burial's music takes a different turn. His compositions explore themes of abandonment, solitude, and the bittersweet echoes of lost connections.
The Enigma of William Bevan
William Emmanuel Bevan, the man behind Burial, remains largely shrouded in mystery. Hailing from South London, he rose to prominence in the early 2000s with his debut album "Burial." Since then, he has released a string of acclaimed albums and EPs, each pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
Three-Song Masterpieces
Burial has gained a reputation for crafting some of the most compelling three-song sets in music history. His ability to distill complex emotions into a limited runtime is nothing short of extraordinary. The result is a series of haunting, atmospheric compositions that linger in the listener's subconscious.
As one critic put it, "Burial may just be music's greatest-ever purveyor of three-song sets, in part because he uses the format to create a sense of longing and anticipation that is almost unbearable."
Untrue's Enduring Legacy
In 2007, Burial released his groundbreaking album "Untrue." This album is widely hailed as a masterpiece of electronic music, redefining the genre and influencing a generation of musicians.
For its tenth anniversary, Untrue was the subject of a special feature in the Guardian, where seven artists shared how the album had impacted their lives. The testimonies, a testament to Burial's profound influence, ranged from "it opened up a whole new world of music" to "it changed the way I think about sound."
