Four Tet: ambitious and abstract
British electronic master Four Tet is set to release a new LP on January 25th. There Is Love in You is the first full-length since 2005, although Kieran Hebden has been busy releasing EPs, remixing and collaborating with other artists and working on projects under his own name.
Hebden exploded onto the scene in 1998 with the 36 minute, 25 second single “Thirtysixtwentyfive.” From there, he’s toured with Radiohead and remixed tracks for an eclectic group of artists including Bloc Party, The Notwist, Andrew Bird, Kings of Convenience, Matthew Dear and Radiohead, among many others.
Four Tet is ambitious and abstract, a collage of beats and melodies incorporating everything from techno to hip hop to folk.
For your listening pleasure — “Love Cry,” the 9 minute dance track and first single off soon-to-be released There is Love in You is here; and one of my favorites, “As Serious As Your Life” from 2003’s Rounds below…
Four tet are great.. so is Matthew Dear.
