Bleep

One-off limited CD pressing compiling the 2 most recent Hyperdub EPs from the mystery man - 'Street Halo' and 'Kindred'. Produced in Japan for their domestic market, we will be getting a handful of imports of this CD. Previously not released on CD, these 6 tracks clock in at 50 minutes, packaged in full size jewel case with Japanese obi-strip overlay. An essential purchase for all Burial fans...

'Street Halo' is swarming with that crackle and hiss, spectral far-off rhythms punctuating the gloom, whilst 'NYC' is a skulk through dank 2-step-caverns, the timestretch Burial vox always there. Finally 'Stolen Dog' is a beautiful exercise in handsome beat-minimalism. Kindred', reveals itself under a shroud of distortion, virtuous-sounding vocals loosely elevating themselves over terse motorik bass and percussion. 'Loner' begins with a tense temperament yet soon picks the pace up a notch or two with a quick shuffling rhythm and oscillating synths, a half-way point pause providing respite and reflection. 'Ashtray Wasp' closes things with a sombre and contemplative gambit, driving rhythms pushing forward and crystalline touches adding light to a distortion-heavy freefall.
