Following some whispers and rumours, it's been confirmed that Burial — the enigmatic and secretive British producer — will be releasing new music on XL Recordings after making his name on Hyperdub.
XL announced today that Burial will be dropping the 12-inch single "Dreamfear / Boy Sent From Above" on February 9. It's his first-ever release for another label, and XL has shared some new merch alongside the announcement.
Since releasing his 2005 debut and 2007's landmark Untrue, Burial has tended toward short releases, dropping a string of EPs that were collected on the compilation Tunes 2011 to 2019. Since then, he's released collaborative EPs with Blackdown, Four Tet and Thom Yorke. In 2022, he shared the Antidawn and Streetlands EPs.
