Untrue

Untrue, released in 2007 by Burial, is a nocturnal, atmospheric take on dubstep and future garage that blends half-time rhythms, shuffling two-step beats and fractured, pitch-shifted vocal fragments over murky bass and crackling vinyl textures. Its sparse arrangements and melancholic, cinematic mood draw on UK garage and grime while emphasizing ambient space and lo-fi surface detail. The album is noted for helping to shape a more emotive, textured strand of electronic bass music and for popularizing a brooding, late-night aesthetic.
