Burial’s Untrue: The making of a masterpiece

Untrue by Burial is regarded as one of the most important albums in electronic music, and this video by Resident Advisor breaks down what it is about the album that made it such a masterpiece. Burial’s real name is William Emmanuel Bevan, and he has remained an elusive figure in the scene, refusing to do public appearances and deciding against any live performances. The album is littered with deep samples that reveal a lot about his character and influences, from his obsession with the Metal Gear Solid game franchise to his extensive YouTube digging, and the video talks about the influences the Mercury-nominated album had on British underground music and the electronic music scene as a whole.
