But because it's often read as mood music, consumed in long, uninterrupted settings, spliff in hand, it can be easy to miss out on how good Burial is at making straight-up songs-whether they're shadow-world pop tracks or tightly composed ambient pieces. Untrue gets the most love from casual listeners-and understandably, few full-length records in any genre create such a vivid world-but so much of Burial's work outside of that record strains for those same peaks. There and throughout his work, he conjures blurry visions out the windows of late-night public transportation, stocking a world with characters both benevolent and malicious, courts visits from extraterrestrials and makes time to grab some fast-food before he returns back home, bleary-eyed. As has been constantly described in the years since its release, Untrue- which turned 10 on November 5-is one of the 21st century's preeminent documents of nightlife loneliness, charting the internal spaces between club and domicile. But for the producer born William Bevan, there's always been suggestions of more worlds in his work than anyone could exer properly explain anyway.
