An icy, desolate solitude that somehow feels like a protective shelter from the cold.
“Burial continues an almost unfeasibly long hot streak of evocative and compelling sonic visions with Antidawn. It feels like an entirely new genre of field recording and is his most abstract electronica to date”Read review
“Burial’s longest release in years doubles down on his signature sounds and downcast mood. A collaged chorus of voices holds together a windswept expanse of undulating nothingness”Read review
“Has a lot to offer in terms of soundscapes, at the same time it is a quiet and slow-paced record with space between musical ideas”Read review
“The lesser-spotted artist builds knife-edge tension with an eerie, five-song collection that brings to mind suspenseful horror series Silent Hill”Read review
“Love it or hate it, ‘Antidawn’ is one of the most unique releases you’re likely to hear in 2022”Read review
