Listen to Burial’s New Single “Dreamfear / Boy Sent From Above”

After teasing its release, Burial has finally shared his new two-track single “Dreamfear / Boy Sent From Above” on XL Recordings. This is the first time that the British producer, whose landmark albums for Hyperdub helped popularize the label in the 2000s, has released music on a different label. The 12″ vinyl version will come out on February 9 via XL, but you can listen to the digital version of “Dreamfear / Boy Sent From Above” below.

Burial released his self-titled debut in 2005 and followed it with his breakout record, Untrue, in 2007. Since then, Burial has rolled out shorter releases instead of traditional full-length albums, including a handful of EPs collected on the compilation Tunes 2011 to 2019. More recently, he’s shared the EPs Antidawn and Streetlands as well as collaborative EPs with Blackdown, Four Tet and Thom Yorke, and, last year, Hyperdub founder Kode9.
