FOUR TET

ELECTRONIC WIZARDRY AND LOVED-UP CHORAL SERENADES FROM FOUR TET MEETS OPEN FIELD CHURCH:

In electronic music’s Olympian dominion, Kieran Hebden vaulted the highest bar; raised it above the stars; cleared it again.

London’s Hebden – aka contempo artisan Four Tet – runs rings around his stellar contemporaries with an unparalleled palette of hip-hop and techno; drum loops and birdsong; gentle funk and grizzly beats; obscure folk and neo-classical sweeps: as avidly evinced on 2003’s Rounds dispatch; 2005’s follow up, Everything Ecstatic (Domino); and on remixes for artists such as Radiohead, Goldfrapp, Bloc Party and Aphex Twin.

His recent work with legendary drummer Steve Reid (James Brown, Miles Davis), meanwhile, has also aroused startled remark: their Exchange Sessions Vol. 1 (Domino) testifies to Hebden’s vigorous collaborative spirit.
