We're All Gonna Hurt

 

Kieran Hebden released his latest album 41 Longfield Street Late '80s two month ago. Together with William Tyler, an America guitarist they created one of the finest albums this year. The mixture of country, ambient, minimal techno and a bit of psychedelia is extraordinary and still on my turntable since it's release.

He obviously also finds time to devote himself to his side projects. One of these is Le Carousel, where he focuses on electronic dance music. His song, released earlier this year, has now been reworked and refined by Sean Johnston. The result is a steady beat underlaid with a massive bass and voices floating around somewhere.

If I Had A Boat

 

Kieran Hebden is back with a new record. He is perhaps better known as the head of Four Tet, his electronic playground, and for his many remixes in recent years. Now he has teamed up with William Tyler to break new ground. At the beginning of this century, Tyler was a member of Lambchop and the Silver Jews, who reinterpreted country music at the time.

In recent years, several bands such as the Nashville Ambient Ensemble have demonstrated that country and electronic music are entirely compatible. Here, Hebden and Tyler take an old song by Lyle Lovett, break it down into its individual parts and then reassemble it as if it were a single piece.

I don't want to deprive you of the wonderful original.

Baby

English producer Kieran Hebden better known as Four Tet released a new album these days. As we expected it is a mixture of his very own interpretation of electronic music combined with matching melodies and garage inspired beats. Baby is a collaboration with Ellie Goulding, with a bit of a melancholic mood over sampled beats. Another collaborations Hebden did with great female voices. Another song that keeps me forgetting what happens around me these days when I think that this could be the end of the world as we know it.

Only Human

Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet released a new track under his alias KD. He tried for years to get the allowance to use Nelly Furtado's track Afraid as a sample. Finally they found an agreement for the copyrights and he Hebden presents us a mass compatible track with very catchy vocals, looped and strapped to an ongoing beat and added with some syhths shining in the back

This afternoon will be seminal to the future of my team. We are in the table still close to relegation and we await our table neighbor from Hannover. To beat them is necessary otherwise the days in Bundesliga might be counted.

New Energy

... is the name of the new album by Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet. I follow him since a long time and it doesn't matter if he's in dance music or folk inspired electronic music. Two Thousand And Seventeen is the healing sound for a year that was embossed by political madness, tragedy and frustration. It is a little piece of magic with its reduced rhythm and melancholy and hopeful sound.

With SW9 9SL he shows references to the Bristol sound and to all-night ravers. More electric than eclectic and a wonderful piece of electric music.

You Are Loved shows another side of his abilities of creating music. Close to the sound of Selected Ambient Works he mixes breaks with synth  sweeps that you can get lost in them.

I know that this is not the music for everyone but if you find some time to listen intensive to this songs you might see the magic that is inside them.
