Burial Trivia Questions

Despite his fame, Burial has never played a live show, preferring to remain anonymous and let his music speak.

Burial cites UK garage, jungle, and ambient music as key influences, not synth-pop; his sound is darker and more abstract.

Burial did not record any original vocals for 'Untrue'; all vocal sounds are sampled and manipulated from sources such as R&B tracks, video games, and other recordings.

'Untrue' was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2008 but lost to Elbow's 'The Seldom Seen Kid'.

His first official releases came through Kode9's Hyperdub label in 2005, starting with the 'South London Boroughs' EP.

Burial himself revealed in interviews that he made his self-titled 2006 debut on a laptop using a pirated version of Sony Acid Pro, giving the album its distinctive lo-fi feel.

'Archangel' uses a pitched-up vocal sample from Ray J's 2001 R&B single 'I'm in Love with You', not Whitney Houston.

In August 2008, The Independent published an article revealing Burial as William Bevan, a south Londoner, after he had kept his identity secret for years.
