Burial is an English electronic musician from South London who emerged in the mid-2000s, producing music rooted in dubstep, UK garage and ambient electronica. Burial's work combines lo-fi, crackling textures, pitched and fragmented vocal samples and nocturnal urban atmospheres, with later releases moving toward sparser, more abstract structures and contributing to the development of the UK underground electronic scene; his early anonymity was a notable aspect of his career.
