Antidawn

"Antidawn is a lengthy five-track EP of ambient Burial, letting the atmospheric passages from his records stretch out into long, meandering suites ... Such moments of unfulfilled anticipation and endless, directionless drifting might make Antidawn seem difficult compared to other Burial releases, but there's something quietly powerful in the way he's able to express the sensation of being inexplicably lost".

"Although `ANTIDAWN' isn't by any means an easy listen or an EP made for casual ears, the level of intricate detail and world-building achieved proves that, more than a decade since his arrival, nobody does immersive electronica quite like Burial".

"In recent years, Burial has increasingly tried to escape the linearity of dance music by cobbling together pieces of songs into multi-part suites. With Antidawn, he makes the most of that technique; every track is riddled with fake-outs, false endings, and trapdoors. In that sense, despite the record's heavy-handedness, there is something playful about Antidawn. Burial's relentless refusal to deliver anything like closure suggests an acidic sense of humor, the musical equivalent of Beckett's Waiting for Godot".
