Burial appears to be quite liberated in the current phase of his career that somehow seem to involve both subverting and continuing his early work's hauntological modus operandi. Thus. Subtemple / Beachfires keeps him tackling his persona by dismantling the latter into a self-referential pastiche. Of course, he doesn't subsume himself into the perils of post-modernism, he turns the entire thing around by becoming an even greater observes. One of the reasons Burial intrigues us might be his viewpoint, which doesn't feel like that of a protagonist, though I wouldn't call him a bystander either. He should be understood as a human ghost, who invites us into his own lookout with his shifting presence reching the places we cannot visit on our own.
