Burial collaborates with Flying Lotus, hear the magic inside

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is some serious big time shit. We know we've bored you with news about Rivers 'Mental' Cuomo and Katy 'I Kissed A Girl OMFG' Perry collaborating, but that was a moderately interesting digression from any sort of reality.

What we really hope to see is artists fusing their bulging, menacing minds together, especially when it's two people with creative lobes the size of a large burrito. That's Burial and Flying Lotus, by the way.

News has come to us (via Gorilla vs. Bear and Pitchfork) of the two getting together, something which will undoubtedly have some undesired effects on electronic music fanatics across the world.

It has been said that the track was up on Flying Lotus's MySpace for a brief while but has since been confirmed as being actually true, we are told. That's as good as verification for us, is it for you? It should be. Anyway, the clip is available on YouTube, but we've embedded it below, so you don't need to go clicking away from this here page. Tell us what you think, an' that.

Pretty dirgey, yeah? Pretty great, yeah? Think so, think so. Sort of like a soundtrack to a botched murder in mid-winter, following your morning jog. Or something. The final minute or so is where you realise you're gonna get caught and start throwing up over your brand new, pristine clean Dunks. UN-lucky. Best bit = the Tetris-y bit at about 1:19.

It appears that there won't be any future work between the two, nor are there any plans to release the song, which is a bit of a bummer. But better this than nothing, eh?

Erm...

pretty mad, more Flylo LA-esque than Burial I thought. Obvs mega experimental, I probably wouldn't want to hear an album of material in that vein but they could conjure some really decent stuff if they got to bash heads over an EP or something.

its about a year old

damn good though, I think flylo's been playing it in his live sets for ages. This sounds like a recording of one of those as another track is mixed in at the end. A flylo colab has been on the cards for ages he told a hip-hop site about it last year http://ukhh.com/features/interviews/flying_lotus/index.html and not long after the track was on his myspace. I'd love to be excited by it again but I would have thought it would have come out by now if it was going to, its just another lost dub in dubstep land by the looks of it.

if you want to get a bit excited about a Burial colab coming out

Breakage & Burial - Vial

that track has been confirmed to be on Breakages album early next year.

cheers for this

listening now

hmmm.... this is an interesting collab. bit too mental for our ears. but looking forward to what burial comes up with next.

...

sounds like a C64 game that wont load properly

ha!

I can't listen on this computer (I'm at work at the library) but your comment definitely makes me want to hear it when I get home!
