Four Tet - ‘She Just Likes To Fight’

I’ve always thought of myself as a fan of Four Tet, but recently relistening to 2010’s There Is Love In You made me realise that I never fully realised how gloriously good the music is, and just how unique Kieran Hebden’s sound is. When everybody makes such as effort to label genres and strands of music, sometimes it’s important to sit back and just focus on the tune. And the reason that there is little need to label this music is that it’s unique. There are similar artists out there but they don’t quite have the same approach. With Hebden it’s the solid beat foundation - always more organic than electronic - that drives the song along and it’s always a lush melody layered over the top provides the tune, but it’s the ethereal sounds - the drones, the flutter, the chopped up women’s voices - that really make it Four Tet. 

Sounds A Little Like: Bonobo but less jazzy.
