How do you make sense out of chaos? With new LP ‘Everything Ecstatic’ around the corner, Four Tet stills displays much talent at assembling colourful samples in unique ways. ‘Smile Around The Face’ is like avant-garde pop music made out of vintage live drum breaks, bizarre loops (choir & strings) and of course ends with bells and a jolly conclusion (104 BPM). The magic operates in no time as Kieran Hebden takes you on a trip in his abstract reality (kinda the seven dwarves on acid). The flip ‘Sun Drums & Soil’ reveals his obsession with jazz and improvisation/repetition (105).
