Good feeling about this based on the singles.

yup

Planet is gorgeous

New track 'Scientists' (presumably the one Radio 6 played?)

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.

^ Yeah, I really like this. It did make me wonder how many copies he's likely to sell altogether.

new album out tonight

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

grrrrreat!

This is exactly what I want from a Four Tet record.

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.

this album is gorgeous!

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

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?

might be, he did release a song under a wingding moniker last month

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)

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.

Remove Daughter and this might be his most consistently beautiful record. That song feels a bit out of place though...

Where's my CD, Oxfam?!

Yeah, where's my vinyl, Oxfam? Playing it through Spotify is functional I guess. #1stworldNGOproblems

banger

Apparently the CD has arrived...

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.

This is very lovely. But I can see anyone not into his 'pretty' side being infuriated by it.

Four tet's tech house remix of leave a trace by chvrches is his best banger IMO - a real sublime high point

"two thousand and seventeen" is great - always loved "my angel rock back and forth" and this is like a more optimistic flipside to that

But I can see anyone not into his 'pretty' side being infuriated by it

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.

This is where I recorded and mixed the album and all the gear I used pic.twitter.com/ncwoleHwYs

haha, that's great

Yeah, I liked that.

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

Jealous of his studio view.

Kind of furious that the speakers aren't equidistant from the window frame, tbh.

Enjoying the meme generated from this tweet. Also his other twitter thread where he answered a bunch of nerdy questions about the record.

― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy),

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.

its organic

"This is where I recorded and mixed the album and all the gear I used" -- new I Make Music board description please

That should become like one of those fitness motivation memes but for music nerds

What's the item on the left, some kind of preamp?

he lays it all out in the replies

Apparently: http://www.prismsound.com/music_recording/products_subs/lyra/lyra_home.php

wait what did he use an interface for if everything used to record is in the picture? Just for headphone monitoring? Is there something hiding under the desk?

pretty sure the controller is a Novation Launchkey 25 http://www.guitarcenter.com/Novation/Launchkey-25-MIDI-Controller-1427728872610.gc?pfm=item_page.rrt1|ClickEV. That's a modest controller, I like it.

Feel like there's a bit of undeserved snarkiness to the meme.

where's the meme?

just search the phrase on twitter
