Four Tet - Ringer

Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, is back with a 4-track EP, Ringer, which was released last month.
Ribbons is quite dreamy, with colourful melodious spatterings appearing over a nice beat. The title track has the looping quality to keep a room going early in the morning, while Wing Body Wing is a very impressive slow-burner. You can check out these tracks here

More impressive than the EP itself, in my opinion, are two DJ mixes of his which have appeared of late. Both are well worth the time investment*....
One, a half-hour dinger in recognition of the release of Ringer, is available here
The other, a more complete affair, is available here

Hebden is probably as well if not better known for his huge selection of remixes as for his own productions. One particular favourite of mine is his remix of Weight of My Words by the Kings of Convenience**. It is a lovely subtle flowing track. Check it out here

** KofC are performing at EP this year and will surely receive attention on this blog over the summer. As will their lead man Erlend Oye, a hero of ours.
