More about:

Burial is making a rare, cherished re-emergence with new music. ANTIDAWN was announced this afternoon by long-time label Hyperdub. The EP will be here at the end of January. 

"The record explores an interzone between dislocated, pathrowk songwriting and eerie, open-world game space ambience," Hyperdub wrote on Twitter. "In the resulting no man's land, lyrics take precedence over song, lonely phrases colour the haze, a stark and fragmented structure makes time slow down."

"ANTIDAWN seems to tell a story of a wintertime city, and something beckoning you to follow it into the night. The result is both comforting and disturbing, producing a quiet and uncanny glow against the cold. Sometimes, as it enters 'a bad place', it takes your breath away. And time just stops."

ANTIDAWN EP Tracklist:

1. STRANGE NEIGHBOURHOOD
2. ANTIDAWN
3. SHADOW PARADISE
4. NEW LOVE
5. UPSTAIRS FLAT

ANTIDAWN EP arrives 28 January via Hyperdub.
