Coolest Track of 2007

Comes from a mysterious Londoner who goes under the name Burial. He released this song, called "Untrue," on a record of the same name last November. It won best album of the year according to the Metacritic consensus, but this Burial guy still will not perform, will not reveal his name, and will not be interviewed except anonymously. How cool is that? Jeez.

I used to think I didn’t like electronica, but Thievery Corporation (which had a great song a couple of years ago, called "Amerimacka," with the haunting line "Amerimacka…oh what a beautiful lie") began to change my mind.

This anonodude changed it for good, with "Untrue."

The haunting line from this one "…and it’s all because…you lied…"

What do you I suppose he’s talking about, folks?

I think I know…
