1) Burial, aka Will Bevan, is a dubstep musician from South London, England. His eponymous debut album was released in 2006 to critical acclaim. The Wire magazine named it their album of the year and it came fifth in the Mixmag 2006 Album of the Year list.
On Friday, September 28th 2007, a message on the Hyperdub website announced a new Burial album, and Untrue was released 6 weeks later on November 5th. The vinyl and CD releases of the album feature different running orders.
Although both albums have been met with much critical acclaim, Burial remained anonymous until August 2008, stating in a past interview that “only five people know I make tunes”.
In February 2008, The Independent reported that Burial was an alumnus of south London’s Elliott School named William Bevan (another alumnus, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, said in 2006 that Burial was in the year above him). The school’s alumni also include Kieran Hebden, with whom Bevan has collaborated.
On 22 July 2008 The Guardian reported that Burial was a nominee for a 2008 Mercury Music Prize. NME reported on 31 July 2008 that Burial was the favourite for the award. After much Mercury Prize-related coverage in tabloid newspapers in the UK, speculating that Burial was either Richard D. James or Norman Cook, Burial confirmed The Independent’s information and posted a picture on his Myspace page on August 5, 2008. A blog entry stated “I’m a lowkey person and I just want to make some tunes, nothing else”, as well as announcing a forthcoming four-track 12”, and thanking his fans for their support up to this point.
