You could draw from other sources as well. The writers who've written on Burial that I recommend are Mark Fisher (K-Punk) and Adam Harper. Their work can be pretty deep. Mark Fisher is the guy who did the big Burial interview for The Wire. He has also written a book which includes Burial in it.

This webpage contains many of the articles on Burial written by Harper and Fisher. If you do a search of the page by their names, you'll find tons of articles: http://marcod.tripod.com/burial.html

Here's Fisher's book which includes Burial in it. (To be honest, I've been meaning to get the book, but haven't yet.): http://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-My-Life-Depression-Hauntology/dp/1780992262 /// Here's a review I found: http://artreview.com/reviews/summer_2014_book_ghosts_of_my_life_mark_fisher/

I remember Fisher was writing about hauntology, and nostalgia for rave and jungle before Burial even appeared on the scene; when Burial did appear, Fisher was his earliest and biggest champion; so much so, that more than one person accused him of being Burial... What I think - my theory - is that Burial was probably an avid reader of Fisher, and may have been influenced by his ideas as he developed his sound.

Mark Fisher actually has another book called Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures that I think goes into hauntology a lot more than Capitalist Realism (I haven't read either yet but I've heard the YouTuber Cuck Philosophy that was linked in the OP talk about his work a lot).

> Land is a terrifying postmodern fascist.

Is post-modern fascism a thing? It seems that alt-right types usually hate post-modernism and consider it related to Marxism. Jordan Peterson has basically spent his whole career waging war against whatever he calls postmodernism. But I have heard Cuck Philosophy mention that there are a few right-wingers that embrace post-modern philosophy (not specifically fascists thought).
