This is pretty intersting. So every year, the Mercury Prize is awarded to the Best Album released in the United Kingdom or Ireland. Nominations for the award are chosen by a exclusive panel of select industry executives who are noted for their tendency to select outside chances to win instead of the favorites. This year, Radiohead and dubstep maestro Burial lead the nominations. Radiohead's In Rainbows and amazing and I could go forever. However, Burial's release Untrue struck a mysterious of genius within music connoisseurs and could very appropriately win as well. The lucky winners of the Mercury Prize are required to perform in studio with the executives in attendence. That's where it gets interesting, Burial has never performed a concert. Ever. Even more so, no one knows who he is. He has released two fantastic albums and three EP's all under a guise of secrecy. If he wins, who knows?
Who makes us dance to this ghostly music?
The Sun UK tabloid is on a tear trying find out who this masked man is anyway too.
Who is Burial? Find out for yourself.
