^^goooood stuff

sw9 9sl is so so great

concur

that kiss it better remix is too good, opens this killer set https://soundcloud.com/four-tet/lost-village-25th-august-2018

Alexandra Palace live show, with 42,000+ lights hanging down throughout the audience, was incredible. I couldn't see the stage at any point in the set and I didn't care in the slightest.

Just saw photos of this and man...

bored silly by this latest one tbh

If you asked me to describe his sound to someone who hadn't heard recent Four Tet albums, or make a knock-off for an ad or something, it would sound like this. Swirly bell-tone arpeggios over dance beats with very few surprises.

But it's still pretty and nice to have on while doing computer work.

Pretty nice is a good summary. The cover is exceptionally on brand, which feels apposite.

he peaked with "Only Human"

The actual cover is nice but I’m a little disappointed that he didn’t just use the post-it note placeholder one instead.

First two thirds of this is pretty good, before it goes too gong bath-y. Nothing new as people have said, but maybe a bit more generous with the hooks this time?

12 days into 12 week lockdown at my house and - on the infrequent occasions I get to listen to it - this is actually just what the public health official ordered right now. Calming. Beautiful. Reassuring. Familiar but new.

Have people noticed that he's putting up everything he's recorded/remixed on Spotify? There's about 31 hours worth so far.

Thanks for the notice! Been playing the new one a lot, it is gorgeous.

Nice Christmas presents!

https://fourtet.bandcamp.com/album/871

Last track of 871 seems to be an effort to turn a sample of 10,000 Maniacs' cover of "Because the Night" into a DJ Shadow track?

The mid-'90s tracks are just a curiousity, but I'm enjoying Parallel (esp. the 24 min ambient opener!). The dance tracks are fine but I kinda wish it was all ambient for conceptual unity.

Also his interview on the Hanging Out with Audiophiles podcast is really fantastic. Moreso than the music, I find his interviews really inspiring, I've never heard anyone else echo/voice my own feelings about process so precisely.

And Tiga's podcast is a good companion piece, it's kinda dumb in comparison but covers his whole dj career, which I've been curious about. Also a good bit about working with Burial.

I'm a Parallel 6 guy

(can't resist fake gamelan)

TY for the podcast links. i started listening and got curious about how he operates in the studio. found a very generous walkthrough here. good stuff. now i'm inspired to start working with samples much more, and print/re-sample my own instrumental noodling as well.

^^believe this is actually old but a recently cleared sample? what's the flip?

lovely as always

it's from 3LW "No More" and I'm kinda on the fence about it but only because the melody of the original always felt so effortless to me and this feels a bit contorted, I wish the sample would get out the way because the rest of it is typically lush

always exploring

great drums

Oh cool - super 90s comedown track? Has he ever done anything like this?

well this is a treat

Kieran Hebden & William Tyler - Darkness, Darkness

Nice one, KH really getting back into his early '00s folktronica beats bag.

I dig it, but, a bit of skronk aside, not sure how much William Tyler there is in there?

All the guitar I assume, of which there is a fair amount (besides the skronk)?

It was a cursory listen - I need to give it a proper go with headphones.

xp yeah feels like something that could've been massive in the early 00s

healing music

reminds me of something
https://fourtet.bandcamp.com/track/daydream-repeat

album out!

mostly mellow, great stuff, includes three previously released singles

Sounding lovely on first listen. "Skater" reminds me of Arovane ca. Tides.

I recently found out that four test stole a sample from my neighbor’s brother’s band

recently, or awhile ago?

(also, new board description)

It was the sample from “she moves she.” His brother was a locally famous jazz drummer

Interesting! This one?
