A year ago, Burial returned in typically enigmatic form with what you could otherwise describe as a return to form — on an already impeccable one — as “Dreamfear” reanointed William Bevan as the electronic underground’s ultimate “lord of ecstasy.” “Comafields”, the A-side to the producer’s latest surprise single, matches that listen in length, though it’s energy is a polarity to it while remaining a gold standard in conjuring other-worldly feelings through its atmospheres.

The listen peaks in three parts — first, a trance-endental beat coupled with intergalactic synth waves wriggling through before moving into a state of sci-fi delirium, made all the more transfixing by its use of pitch-tuning samples of Sinéad O’Connor’s 2003 song “You Put Your Arms Around Me” and indie pop crooner Jens Lekman’s Night Falls Over Kortedala classic “Your Arms Around Me” merged into the same alien vessel. “I can still see it,” a woman’s voice appears through crackling vapors in its final part. What is it? “Strobe light.” Or at least the experimental electronic equivalent of the warmth of the sun traveling at a serene 186,000 miles per second to reach you.

Burial’s “Comafields” b/w “Imaginary Festival” single is available now on Hyperdub.
