As the immediate follow-up release to Four Tet’s 12" “Human Voice,” this edition appears on Text and has been pressed in a very small run; initial dealer lists and pre-orders suggest that it will be in short supply.
Musically, the work continues Hebden’s characteristic balance between understated melodicism and finely detailed electronics: layer-by-layer arranged samples, fragmentary percussion and intimate textures shape the pieces. Several of the compositions collected here have already been available in other forms — some as contributions to the Four Tet album “Parallel,” others as individual releases or uploads on SoundCloud — so the LP builds a bridge between previously released material and its new contextualization.
