Kieran Hebden is back with his contribution to We Are The Works in Progress , a compilation album put together by Blonde Redhead frontwoman Kazu Makino to raise money for tsunami relief efforts in Japan. Hebden, the man behind Four Tet, has been called many things, but boring is not one of them. He seemingly avoids being pigeonholed into a specific electronic sound, as if every one of his albums represents a new direction. He eschews the ordinary, opting to become more and more abstract with every release. Hebden seems to have found the right [...]

Four Tet just released a new track called "Moma" that will be featured in upcoming compilation called 'We Are the Works In Progress' that will benefit the tsunami relief efforts headed up by...

Tweet Fellow SGTMT writer Tom is a nice chap, very nice. We used to see a lot of each other in our school days; we played football together, dated the same girls (not at the same time) and watched Top Gun together more times than I care to remember. So with that in mind, this blog is painful, hard, difficult. Exhale. Press on... You see, Tom is a massive Four Tet fan, super-massive. Find proof here when he reviewed Locked [...]

After his last album There Is Love In You gained its rightful spot among most critics' year-end lists in 2010, Four Tet continued to make his presence felt throughout 2011 with a stellar mix for Fabriclive and collaborations with Thom Yorke and Burial and Caribou's new alter-ego Daphni. He also performed here in LA just a few months back at FYF Fest, but will make an exciting return next week with a club performance at legendary beat-tropolis Low End Theory. With two performances from Thom Yorke and James Blake already in the books, it's already [...]

"But there was always something. I realised now that thing was me. I was in my way. I was ahead of myself in the queue. I was keeping me waiting. In Varanasi I no longer felt like I was waiting. The waiting was over. I was over. I had taken myself out of the equation." ( Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi , Geoff Dyer). (more on Four Tet here )

Through both his crystalized synth palate and his ability to make all things electronic seem synthesized by nature, I am consistently prone to associate the music of Four Tet with the movement of water. His newest work, "Moma" off the We Are The Works In Progress compilation is an exquisitely mystical track that seems to mimic the progression of rainfall. Glowing synths scatter about the atmosphere like clouds filling the sky. A light kick enters followed by a metallic sounding drum loop adding a welcome amount of tension to the wave of calm. While [...]

The track showcases a refreshing minimal take on electronic layers. Sit back and prepare for a journey into the retro future. Four Tet - Moma Four Tet ( Official ) ( Twitter ) Rating 7.6
