Burial's EP 'Comafields' immerses listeners in a desolate soundscape characterized by murky drones, swirling winds, and cryptic spoken-word elements. The track notably diverges from previous work, exhibiting a sleek construction with sorrowful synth arpeggios layered over a steady 4/4 kick, contrasted by erratic bleeping sounds. The mournful vocal hook adds depth, resonating with themes of yearning and divine reflection. Overall, the track stands out as a deeply emotional and engaging piece, bridging ambient trance elements with poignant storytelling.
Murky drones swirl, winds howl, and a voice full of Biblical portent mutters, 'I saw something... flower, bloom from nothing.'
'Comafields' is unusually sleek, built out of mournfully tumbling synth arpeggios and a straightforward 4/4 kick, elegiac sequences giving way to harried bleeping.
The centerpiece is a mournful vocal hook shot through with yearning: 'You put your arms around me,' time-stretched and drenched in reverb.
'Comafields' is one of the most affecting tracks he's given us in a while-ambient trance as a weighted blanket for the soul.
