  • Summary: The fifth album from Kieran Hebden is his first full-length release in five years.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 27 out of 30
  2. Negative: 0 out of 30
  1. Less ambient and more grounded than the preceding tracks, it's the one song on the album you wouldn't want to hear at the party; rather, it's a subtle, evocative slow-burner best saved for the cool air and the long walk home.
  2. Kieran Hebden’s first album as Four Tet in almost five years is perhaps his best yet, sealing his reputation for blending jazz, electronica and classical influences into seamless, shimmering soundscapes with an ever-mutating style.
  3. "Rounds" is usually considered Hebden's zenith, but the highly relevant There Is Love In You gives that spellbinding release some very stiff competition. [Winter 2010, p.73]
  4. This LP could have injected some creativity back into 4/4, instead it settles for quaintness.

  1. Four Tet's poppiest LP yet! The electronica man returns with a very catchy collection of song. pitch shifted vocals, beeps and bleeps, synths and some amazing samples. Considering this is a late review this is a great starting point for people who aren't familiar with Four Tet's work. Highly recommend such tracks as 'Angel Echoes' and 'Circling'. Truly an amazing album. 10/10 Expand

    This album is a stunning synthesis of Kieran Hebdan's years spent under the tutelage of Steve Reid. It is unapologetic in its strive for movement and rhythm yet does not abuse the listeners sensibilities with an assault of discordant noise. It is a shining example of accessible experimentalist.

    i like electronic music, but there are stretches here that simply test my patience. i guess repetition and imperceptible shades of forward movement are not my cup of tea. on the other hand, some songs here are really quite beautiful, e.g. Sing, making it all the more frustrating that the rest of the album does not live up to this potential. if you like ricardo villalobos, you'll probably like this.

    I can't believe people are freaking out about this album. All this guy does is play the same beat with a few slight variations and sample the same lyric over and over. This requires almost no musical talent. Collapse
