Thom Yorke/Burial/Four Tet: "Ego" and "Mirror"


Big surprise last night as two collaborations between Thom Yorke, Burial, and Four Tet appeared on UK radio.

“This limited surprise-release is in keeping with all things Thom Yorke: always searching for new ways to sound and to catch his audience unawares. Thom Yorke has been a champion of the cutting edge electronica and dubstep scenes from the start and here we see the fruits of three of the most important minds on the contemporary music scene locked together in electronic matrimony. Be quick on this one…”

The two tracks show a definite Burial influence, focusing more on his echoing, block heavy percussion and ghostly electronics. Yorke's voice floats effortlessly overhead, while Four Tet provides his organic, whimsical flourishes to the tracks. Below are some radio rips that have appeared on YouTube. Enjoy!
