I’m guessing that this isn’t that unknown to people but thought I’d post it up anyway. Hard to pick a favourite from Burial’s amazing second album, Untrue, but I think I’d go with this one.

One of my all time favourite tracks from a criminally underrated jungle/dnb producer. Shogun drops yet another dreamy tune on the wicked Renegade Recordings label.
