A friend sent me the "Nirvana Reimaged As House & Techno" album earlier in the week, which somehow sent me down a Burial rabbit hole. This is a good read on an album that as I've said previously will always hold a special place for me.
Rather than another track from Untrue, I am going for Hiders from his 2013 EP Rival Dealer. Hiders is Burial in miniature form, a sub-five-minute solo cut and one of the only true standalone tracks in his catalogue. It opens with an anthemic synth figure that starts and stops several times, returning each time with varying fidelity, before a splashy arena-rock drumbeat crashes through the ambience, stepping in time with the cascading synth figure and a vocal sample that seems to hover just slightly above everything else. A beautifully emotional piece from Burial. He uses the piano in this track perfectly.
