Untrue

Burial

Im not the one to say a something changed my life but if there was an album that did it would be this one. There's almost too much that comes to mind when i think of burial. Electronic music seems like it would be sterile and inhuman, which maybe in a way that's the point, Kraftwerk gives me that feeling. Kraftwerk is incredible so that's not a con but they both clearly serve a different purpose.

I found burial super late, i think i watched a video called "all my homies hate skrillex" on youtube a long time ago and it was basically how he "ruined" electronic music. I dont mind that era of music at all, deadmau5 is undeniably a god and honestly one of the most consistent musicians ever.

Anyway, when i first listened to burial it was really cold out and in my head i remember the feeling of being in an empty train yard. Up until that point i never really just sat down and enjoyed music like it should be. Ever since then whenever im in the mood ill put my earbuds in and listen to the whole album with my eyes closed. Albums can really play like movies if you let them. Untrue for me starts off outside of a dying party underneath a flickering street light and carrying you all the way to a bus stop to go back home in the early morning.

One thing Burial has made me realize is to create anything of value that has impact and soul it has to be done with unrelenting authenticity. He creates an atmosphere that can only exist through living and experiencing then channeling that through trusting your gut response to every creative decision.

All my homies reduce our burning souls of passion and desires to ashes.
