Video: Ellie Goulding, “Under the Sheets”
Ellie Goulding is a proper Brit, so her forthcoming release on Neon Gold is full of proper Brit things: beats by Burial, production by Mark Ronson and some guest spots by our mans Theophilus London. “Under the Sheets” is her own theme, though, and its breathlessness is still endearingly unpretentious, kinda like the fact that she’s wearing a real regular hoodie and glitter at the same time in this video.

Stream: Burial, “Fostercare”
Yes, this is absolutely the thing we want to listen to first thing in the morning in autumn. Deeply layered, subtle and stoic beats swimming among backwards looped samples of some serene siren wooing. This could be construed as creepy (uh, “Fostercare” dude? Have you seen The Orphan?) but it’s one of the more visual tracks Burial’s done, a somber, amniotic journey. According to Fact Mag this is from the forthcoming Hyperdub compilation. So was this just like, lying around? You can totally imagine Burial chilling in some City of Lost Children-style gothic factory wearing a monocle and frantically creating a jillion more amazing tracks of this caliber. Like Henry Darger but totally not creepy. He could call them his “inventions.” No but really, what is going on in this dude’s brain?

Burial Reveals Himself/Overuses The Word “Tunes”
- story THE FADER
Yesterday the cat was let out of the dubstep bag when Burial revealed both his face and his identity. Not only is he not a very old white dude as we imagined, but his government name turns out to be is Will Bevan. We’re pretty sure he’s not related to former FADER intern and current FADER contributor David Bevan. But also of note in Burial/Bevan’s coming out MySpace bulletin (reprinted after the jump) is that he uses the word “tune” or “tunes” six times over the course of one hundred and sixty-two words. Also the title of the bulletin is “tunes.”
