Four Tet - There Is Love In You
I love getting assignments from the editor, especially when I got to listen and investigate all at the same time on something or someone I’ve never given the time of day to before.
So seven albums in I’m about to educated on the man commonly know as Kieran Hebden, former player of Fridge and now musical chameleon with an impressive (I’m told) back catalogue of electronica music that infuses the best of hip hop to jazz. Sounds good.
And it is, opening track Angel Echoes is everything I want in new music discoveries, it progresses nicely with the volume slowly increasing as the loop gets further in. However, on Love Cry, what Hebden manages to create is nothing short of epic, as were slowly thrown into the future beats of Battlestar Galactica before being shunted into tripy house rhythm, at 9.13 it’s the stuff made for those comedowns on a Sunday morning.
Pablo’s Heart is exactly what it is, a heartbeat of sorts, and on Sing he manages to remind me why I liked Royksopp in the first placed with this cheeky little bubbly one, This Unfolds is reminiscent of early William Orbit, with its upbeat charm this record really is turning into a version of oral vallium.

Add to favouritesThings go from good to great on Plastic People as the magic continues, and I really haven’t got a bad word to say about this album, it’s the sort of stuff that you can only appreciate (sorry for being big headed) once you’ve put the crazy clubbing days behind you and start to enjoy the real pleasures of electronic music.
And with that I suppose there is a downer, that being that I’ve now got to get my ass on ebay and see what of the back catalogue of Mr Hebden I can manage to ascertain on my Jobseekers.
Have your say...
