A. Moth
B. Wolf Club
A very mysterious and enigmatic release from the UK's dubstep poster boy, Burial, and electronic titan Four Tet. Sold out in minutes, and with a general auora of mystery surrounding the whole thing, people were unsure as to whether it was a collaboration or whether it was simply a split single. The reality is that Burial and Four Tet have contributed to both tunes here, with each others influence clearly audible on both tracks. Moth stomps along surely and is a massive tune, extremely linear and simple yet with flecks of Burial's trademark sound underpinning the Four Tet electronica. Wolf Club begins tentatively with Sweet Love For Planet Earth esque waterfall electronics. Give it time though, and it soon kicks in. An easily recognisible Burial drumbeat kicks in supported by those beautiful electronikz.
It's grown on me, and i'm sure it will continue to do so, but it doesn't appear to live up to the hype on the first few listens. The first track is extremely simple and doesn't seem a world away from something The Field might put out. Second track has the much loved Burial sound, but there isn't a whole lot going on, overall.
Still, a great idea for a collaboration, and great to see new tracks from these fellas. Plus Moth seems to kick more ass each time I listen to it.
8.3/10
