One has to expect that a certain amount of imitation will follow the creation of a sound that so perfectly defines a specific genre, so Burial can’t be too bent out of shape with Finnish producer Late for borrowing a bit from his playbook. On “Bittersweet,” chopped up female vocal samples, rolling percussion-heavy beats, and heavily reverberated synths all come together to make a particularly familiar dubstep track. Late uses these ideas well, regardless, and makes use of all six minutes of “Bittersweet” to create a desolate atmosphere that should fit well into the rest of his forthcoming Phantom Papers EP.
