Four Tet

Four Tet's "Sixteen Oceans" on Text Records is another chapter in the ever-evolving sound of Kieran Hebden. Released in 2020, this album sees the electronic titan returning to a more ambient and introspective sound, while still hinting at his dancefloor sensibilities. The record is a sprawling collection of signature, lilting rhythms and beautiful melodies. From the shimmering "Teenage Birdsong" to the deep, atmospheric soundscapes, "Sixteen Oceans" feels like a tranquil journey through a digital forest. It’s a beautifully crafted and deeply personal album that reinforces Hebden’s status as a singular voice in modern electronic music.
