Burial/Fourtet EP


The recent release from the secretive Burial and the percussion overlord Fourtet has been met with a warm response.

It's unsure exactly who makes what track, but what is sure is that both tracks on the EP are of a very high standard.

The opener Moth is a fuzzy, deep house number that you would expect to hear from the Sonar Kollektiv camp, so it's a bit of a departure for both Fourtet and Burial, although it does have some elements of Burial littered throughout it(reverb laden vocals).

Wolf Cub is probably the best of the two. From the first second the Aztec-like drums are already warming your cockles, but it's not until around the 2minute mark that the song turns upside down and glitchy kick takes over. I've got a sneaky suspsicion that this is a collaborative effort; the haunting faint vocals associated with Burial are embedded in this track as is the organised drum chaos that Fourtet does so well.

Overall this EP has delivered and one can only hope that this duo have something else in the pipeline.
