Rating: When music invites you to remember. That pulsing of lights. That losing yourself in the rhythm. That being elsewhere.
When music invites you to tell a story. That sense of emptiness. That dreamed flight. What is left unspoken.
When music turns to ash. The one from the Bristol scene. The one from the long illusion of the summer of love. The one from the club culture.
When the ash turns back to music. In a gentle, hesitant, and vulnerable way. And you find a place, a meaning, a point of view again.
When all this and more sprout in 13 tracks, it is necessary to pay homage to those who manipulate sounds, effects, and voices of Untrue. The second work by Londoner Burial that amplifies the excellent debut. And that escapes genre definitions. Ambient, dubstep, hypersoul... everyone decides for themselves.
To me, it seems the best existing attempt to translate the spirit of these times into sound form.
For me, listen after listen, this is the record of the year 2007 without question.

Listening to the album leaves you hypnotized, a hypnosis that recalls a dark and heavy levity, that unwittingly drags you into the darkness of industrial London.
Lucifer is emblematic of this music: now an angel, now a devil, now music to listen to.
By idealbeys
"Untrue could be cataloged as a profoundly dub album... it is precisely the element of depth... the cornerstone of this work."
"We pray that this dreamlike journey may never end, afterwards would be oblivion."
