Kieran Hebden is certainly a busy man. Since his early 90's work with post-rock outfit Fridge, Hebden has developed an impressive musical resume under both his birth name as well as the moniker Four Tet. Taking the time to remix heavyweights such as Radiohead, touring the globe performing solo DJ sets, and even delving into improvisational free jazz with avant garde drummer Steve Reid has kept Hebden away from a full length Four Tet album for nearly 5 years. Of course there was the 2008 4 song EP Ringer and last years secret surprise collaboration with Burial, but late last year we heard news of a new full length Four Tet album entitled There Is Love In You and gosh dang it were we all so excited.
The release was preceded by the hypnotically appealing single "Love Cry" which somehow manages to make 9 minutes and 13 seconds feel like a few short breaths. Since I have not yet been able to put this track on without involuntarily dancing or wanting to press the little repeat1 button in the left hand corner of my iTunes screen, I figured it best to share it with you in hopes you catch that same seductive feeling. Enjoy my friends and lovers...Listen & Download
Four Tet -"Love Cry"
Epilogue - Eventually I was able to get past constantly pressing repeat and moved on to listen to the rest of the album and can honestly say I'm hooked. This is definitely some of Hebden's most mature work as Four Tet yet. However I refuse to use this blog to be a music "critic" so I'll just have faith that you'll accept my recommendation and check out the rest of There Is Love In You...
