"etched headplate" appreciation post

somehow seems out of time to feel this type of melancholy in 2021. just listening to burial in my old room

was again reading that mark fisher conversation with burial. feel really sad right now. i read this interview every couple of years. i hope it never disappears from the internet (i have it saved as a txt file just in case, so you can hit me up)

Burial: I was worrying, I’d made all these dark tunes, and I played ‘em to my mum, and she didn’t like them. I was going to give up, but she was sweet, telling me, ‘just do a tune, fuck everyone off, don’t worry about it.’ My dog died, and I was totally gutted about that. She was just like, ‘make a tune, cheer up, stay up late, make a cup of tea’. And I rang her mobile twenty minutes later and I’d made that ‘Archangel’ tune, and I was like, ‘I’ve made the tune, the tune you told me to make.’ And I heard this vocal and it doesn't say it but it sounds like ‘archangel’. (i think this is about "etched headplate")

while we're at it, i just discovered this is the youtube cover video burial sampled in the track:

just amazing
