Burial, Four Tet & Thom Yorke – Ego / Mirror

A. Ego
B. Mirror

Here it is, the one you've all been waiting for since, errrr, it was announced on tuesday! Thom Yorke, Four Tet and Burial have collaborated on two tracks, 'Ego' and 'Mirror' for Kieran Hebden's Text label. It's the second time Hebden aka Four Tet has appeared with Burial, again on a black-on-black vinyl/centre label/sleeve combo, and actually the 2nd time Burial has appeared with Mr Yorke, following his remix of 'It Rained All Night' a few years back. At a guess we'd say Mr Hebden had a larger hand in 'Ego', judging from the tinkled marimbas and purring beat, while Burial's influence is clearly apparent on the defined 2-step pivot and emotive impact of 'Mirror'...www.boomkat.com
