im never sure what to do with a burial release; it's not the dubstep i know. i like using minimal techno, but i dont know what that means. i dont know where trip-hop ends, or how far one can stretch 'ambient' before it becomes just another weak qualifier for a stronger genre label. i dont know what garage is, i certainly dont know what future garage is. there was a period of time where the weird pitch-altered vocals with a pulsed beat could count solely as witch house, at least under the watchful eye of any asshole that cared that there was a witch house-niche firmly carved, but...
this is actually symbolic of a far-larger trend. i am rapidly beginning to detest the notion of having an opinion on music, or at least sharing my opinion while sharing access to the music. if you were gomez (old gomez, not new gomez), you would find this fucking hilarious. if you are stumbling around on the internet just furiously looking for links: welcome. i am one of you. i understand that my impressions overfloweth, but never imagine for a single second that anyone could have a conclusion on someone else's work that could possibly mean anything for you. my own over-reaching diagnoses are likely indicative of the unparalleled amount of access to, and consumption of, music i have had over the last decade.
i can easily discount my analyses. i steal my links, i try desperately not to steal my opinions, and beyond that, i dont really know what to say.
i can shit out some disclaimers like 'the songs seem to channel intensely-structured algorithms, like anti-thematic house music with an intensely singular and isolated purpose. this should be listened to alone.', but...what the fuck?
i think this EP is beautiful. i wish you all luck. thanks, byendurance.
update: i started this at 6am, finished around 7. and i debated deleting it, because i was pretty far from coherent, but i just hate the grammys so goddamn much that now you have to deal with it.
