Albums of 2012 - 8. Burial - Kindred

8. BURIAL - KINDRED


I know that it might not be an album but I have to ben the rules for this list. It's my list anyway. Call it an EP technically but it's longer than some albums so fuck it. "Untrue" was one of the best albums last decade and Burial has come through in spectacular fashion, releasing a string of these EP's, though there was a four year wait.

When the quality is this high though, he can be forgiven for sure. I hate saying it's the sound of London. It's the sound of urban sprawl and travelling to work in the rain. Itis grainy and there are imperfections running through it. Not everything that Will Bevan touches is perfect - this guy was anonymous for a few years - but for me the quality rarely dips. Call it dub; call me a thug; I hate to categorize it.
