Four Tet Artist Snapshot:

One of the key artists of the folktronica movement, Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, mixes samples of jazz, acoustic, and psychedelic music with mid-tempo techno and hip-hop beats to create a uniquely warm and organic form of electronica. 2003's ROUNDS is often considered the definitive folktronica recording and one of the best electronica albums of the decade. Hebden is also a member of the British post-rock outfit Fridge.

Review

Spin (p.108) - "Sometimes Kieran Hebden's electronic music is dawn-over-the-Buddhist-shrine gorgeous..." -- Grade: B
Magnet (pp.92-94) - "EVERYTHING ECSTATIC emphasizes melodic intention in a manner that transcends electronica or the outer reaches of experimental hip hop."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.60) - Ranked #20 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2005" - "[The album] made alluring sense of a palette of sampledelic beats, textures and abstruse but nagging melodies."

Title Note

On 2005's EVERYTHING ECSTATIC, Kieran Hebden (AKA Four Tet) follows up his highly acclaimed 2003 album, ROUNDS, with another set of inventive electronica. Although the spacious, chiming melodies of ROUNDS are still present, Hebden (formerly of British post-rock group Fridge) opts for a deeper, moodier atmosphere on some tracks here, particularly the disc's opener, "A Joy," which combines frantic beats with a low, grinding drone that ends in a chaotic flurry of distortion. "Smile around the Face," however, returns to sunnier climes, with the main melody provided by a sped-up, high-pitched vocal sample that transcends its cartoon-like associations to carry the tune in a surprisingly beautiful way. Hebden's fascination with jazz drumming is highlighted on the driving "Sun Drums and Soil," while the eight-minute "Sleep, Eat Food, Have Visions" recalls the multi-layered work of a well-behaved Aphex Twin. Throughout EVERYTHING ECSTATIC, Hebden's organic, glitchy signature sound is a constant, reinforcing his status as an intriguing and innovative electronica artist.
