Kieran Hebden has been hailed as the thinking man's electronic producer for years now. Presiding over experimental electronic music for about ten years, Hebden's work under the alias of Four Tet has always provided something introspective and irregular, starting with Dialogue, released in the late '90s, and progressing throughout the years up until 2008's Ringer. Hebden has also done some work with live instrumentalists under his own name, the most well-known collaboration being with legendary drummer Steve Reid. Since then, Hebden laid low, only releasing a small pressing of a beloved collaboration with former schoolmate Burial, the shady vinyl masterpiece that was 2009's two-track release, Moth/Wolf Cub. But with a residency at London club staple Plastic People, Hebden began implementing more of a dancefloor influence on his tunes, in his own way of course. With the release of this new album, There Is Love In You, he's shown his versatility in dancefloor culture while remaining true to his own soundscapes. The result of this new venture may be the most satisfying Four Tet experience since 2003's release of Rounds.
Last month, Four Tet did a custom mix-CD for the crowd at the Plastic People party in London. Now he’s posted the mix up on Soundcloud for everyone’s enjoyment. The mix includes new songs “Love Cry” and “Sing” off the forthcoming Four Tet album, There Is Love In You, plus a new track “Moth” and a Joy Orbison remix of “Love Cry.”
January 25th, a fantastic way to start off the year! The new album is called “There Is Love In You” and contains 9 tracks. Love Cry will be the first single released and is already available on 12″ from Domino or can be heard on MySpace. Track list is as follows…
‘Angel Echoes’
‘Love Cry’
‘Circling’
