The Mercury Music Prize nominees for 2008 are announced on July 22nd, and Burial's 'Untrue' album will be amongst them. This is not the best track from the album... so that should tell you something about how good it is. Nobody really knows much about Burial, how old he is, where he's from... he doesn't do interviews. Listening to his music, he doesn't really need to... on it's own it speaks volumes about a way of life in London (a subculture of clubs, concrete and night buses) that a magazine Q&A session couldn't come close to.
Without a doubt, the most original and earcatching thing I've heard all year.
