The internet has been blowing up over the last couple of days with wild rumours circulating that Four Tet and Burial are the same person. Now as cool as that would be if it was a true story unfortunately it’s not the case. Four Tet has taken to his twitter account overnight to set things straight.
I am not Burial

you should all show a bit more respect for Will Bevan who is Burial. One of the greatest musicians/producers of our time.

Case closed.
All the hoo-ha around the conspiracy did remind us of how much we love Burial (and Four Tet obvs) so we got our biggest Will Bevan fan at Cool Accidents HQ to tell us why she loves him and to choose her 5 faves for this weeks #fiveforfriday Enjoy.
If I had to pick one artist that totally encapsulates the sound/feel of London, Burial would be my pick I reckon. The tracks always have that grainy quality to them as well, so even if you’re listening to an mp3 you always feel like you’re playing it through an old dusty record player. It’s so warm.
I bloody love Burial and here are my 5 faves - Lucy B
