Elusive London musician Burial has released a new two track EP, Comafields and Imaginary Festival, which landed on Bandcamp and streaming services last night with a clear vinyl release to follow on 19 September. The release is the latest in a series of low-key EPs that the artist has put out in recent years, once again arriving via Burial’s longtime home, Hyperdub.
Sonically, the two tracks are a continuation of the sound Burial has been exploring over the past decade. Each stretches over the 10-minute mark, with fragile garage-influenced beats and faded trance synths that dip in and out of the mix. There are hints of new influences thrown into the mix, however – Comafields builds into layered synth drones that feel almost post-rock.
