'Four Tet Confirms He Is Burial'

Following widespread speculation that Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) might also be the individual making music under the pseudonym of Burial, a series of new developments in the theory have confirmed that Hebden is indeed the man behind both aliases.
A Tumblr blog which was launched last year outlined many pieces of evidence that support that the theory is in fact true, but none of this information has been acknowledged or confirmed by either Four Tet or Burial.
In describing one particular facet of the supposition, the blog critically examines coincidences surrounding the real name Burial has given publicly for the man behind his alias, “William Emmanuel Bevan.”
“The sixth Google result when one searches “William Bevan” is an independently family-owned funeral service. According to their website, William Bevan Funeral Directors serves the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire areas. The funeral service is specifically based out of Ross-on-Wye, a small market town in southwestern England. The town is two and a half hours W-NW of London.
Funeral homes assist with the cremation or burial of the deceased.”
The site also points out striking coincidences in both artists’ respective discographies, mentioning that the only releases from Burial not found on Kode9′s Hyperdub label come on Text Records, which is run by Kieran Hebden.
In addition to the collaborations between Burial and Four Tet, given the timing of each artist’s respective releases, the theory that Hebden is behind all of the music is further supported.
Initially, a recent tweet from Caribou sparked further investigation into the theory by a number of curious fans.
After receiving an overwhelming number of social media messages asking Hebden to address the rumours, the musician has finally confirmed via Facebook that he is indeed the mastermind behind two of the most highly respected musicians who are currently releasing music.
The FB post on Four Tet's wall is now gone. Probably not legit.

and that means that FuntCase is Burial.
Judging by the other articles on that site, this is definitely BS.

I hope he isn't, anyone announcing they are Burial will ruin the music slightly for me. It's kinda like batman, in a way.. It's a symbol. Don't need a name/person attached to the music. It will lose it's spark imo.
This guy is enough

I'll give it to Burial, tho. It's really impressive of him that no random pictures of him with friends pop up online and shit, even if it's just on occasion. He was on that 'A Great Day In Brixton' photo and that whole scene seems to be really small and based only around the FWD/Big Apple group of people. DSF at times feels like a fuckin' village even and I come across DSF'ers on youtube and lastfm almost daily, so where's random Burial snapshots?
That's the only thing that gives this slight credence to me, even if I don't believe it. I'm just so impressed with how he managed to keep himself hidd'n

Yeah that Brixton photo really does cement the fact that he isn't just someone else's alias
Seems like no one read the small print at the bottom of every equalizermag page...

IMO yourself. I did read the thread. It's hard to tell who's being sarcastic and who's not.

noone here can really confirm that his name REALLY is william bevan. BUT if you reveal your own identity why would you then lie about it?
he only did the hiding thing because he wanted the music to be the main focus, not a person. it's not like zomby or daft punk who want to keep their faces and identity hidden no matter what.
