Planet is gorgeous. Sounds like a combination of his various periods.

"Two Thousand and Seventeen" was good too

cool, I'd missed that!

SW9 9SL - beats on this are straight up from Luomo The Right Wing.
― MikoMcha, Friday, 25 August 2017 05:59 (six years ago) link
sounds great!
do you mean to suggest that it's plagiarism or just as good as Luomo?
I love Four Tet's drums, they sound deceptively simple but they're so unique (and banging!), his biggest "tell" imo
― niels, Friday, 25 August 2017 07:30 (six years ago) link
Ummm.. sounds like a homage to me. The track ends up doing a whole bunch of other things also!
― MikoMcha, Friday, 25 August 2017 07:37 (six years ago) link
Just listening to this for the first time.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 25 August 2017 08:21 (six years ago) link
I haven't been feeling the rest of the new stuff but SW9 9SL is fantastic.

I am so ready for this album

pre-ordered from oxfam. it's gonna be good.

I love that you can pre-order this from Oxfam.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 13 September 2017 15:01 (six years ago) link
^ Yeah, I really like this. It did make me wonder how many copies he's likely to sell altogether.

new album out tonight— Four Tet (@FourTet) September 28, 2017

I have pre-ordered from Oxfam. Hope it arrives soon.

grrrrreat!
― niels, Thursday, 28 September 2017 13:41 (six years ago) link
This is exactly what I want from a Four Tet record.
― chap, Friday, 29 September 2017 13:41 (six years ago) link
Btw Four Tet has a spotify playlist with 600+ songs and it’s a bag of gems and surprises I hear it once in a while and I keep finding amazing stuff in there.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 29 September 2017 16:28 (six years ago) link
this album is gorgeous!
― niels, Saturday, 30 September 2017 08:13 (six years ago) link
I’m currently not in the mood to listen to this one but I can already tell I’ll love it when the time is right. Love this new age “spiritual” phase he’s currently in
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 30 September 2017 09:02 (six years ago) link
That playlist looks incredible, enough familiar stuff to get me on board and plenty of unfamiliar names to discover. What's with the tracks with all the wingding type font, is that a Four Tet alter-ego?
― Dan Worsley, Saturday, 30 September 2017 09:13 (six years ago) link
might be, he did release a song under a wingding moniker last month
― niels, Saturday, 30 September 2017 14:02 (six years ago) link
moka otm this seems like a new spiritual phase starting with Morning Side (even if Rounds and There Is Love in You are also p spiritual)
― niels, Saturday, 30 September 2017 14:04 (six years ago) link
Not really feeling this on the first pass, I feel like Four Tet's at his worst when he's sitting there making doe eyes at you and there's a lot of that here.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 1 October 2017 11:52 (six years ago) link
Remove Daughter and this might be his most consistently beautiful record. That song feels a bit out of place though...
― octobeard, Monday, 2 October 2017 06:24 (six years ago) link
Where's my CD, Oxfam?!
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 2 October 2017 09:54 (six years ago) link
Yeah, where's my vinyl, Oxfam? Playing it through Spotify is functional I guess. #1stworldNGOproblems

― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 11:24 (six years ago) link
I'm never a big fan Four Tet when he slips into the really dance-oriented stuff, the house beats. I've always got time to check out what he's doing but I've only half-loved most of his output since the Ringer/TILIY era.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
This is very lovely. But I can see anyone not into his 'pretty' side being infuriated by it.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:39 (six years ago) link
Four tet's tech house remix of leave a trace by chvrches is his best banger IMO - a real sublime high point
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:23 (six years ago) link
"two thousand and seventeen" is great - always loved "my angel rock back and forth" and this is like a more optimistic flipside to that
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Sunday, 8 October 2017 02:04 (six years ago) link

Nah his best records have some grit in there to balance the sweetness, you need both to prevent it becoming cloying. This one is pretty cloying and mostly forgettable.

when so many bands are going for analogue synth porn/modular excess, this is ace.

Jealous of his studio view.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 26 October 2017 10:05 (six years ago) link
Kind of furious that the speakers aren't equidistant from the window frame, tbh.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 26 October 2017 10:20 (six years ago) link
Enjoying the meme generated from this tweet. Also his other twitter thread where he answered a bunch of nerdy questions about the record.

to be fair sick, the table isn't exactly squared up with the window either.
also, i guess the seating position is slightly shuffled to the right due to the keyboard, hence the RHS speaker is a little over.
