Four Tet - Sixteen Oceans (may 2020)

New album announced on his Instagram.

I´m stoked!

Great news!

the tet. always consistent. hasn't wowed me in quite some time, but always dig his stuff. 

last one i really enjoyed was beautiful rewind.

I really enjoyed those live releases on his Bandcamp. 
 

Always up for more Four Tet.

Looking forward to this. It’s supposedly releasing in March though, not May

I’ve listened to the album. The lyrics to Love Salad are as lewd and graphic as you’d expect. What a perv

16 tracks? is this gonna be a double album? i'm not used to him having these shorter interludes on his albums.

if these are "normal" length tracks - between 3 and 4 mins -  it might just fit within 80 mins, i guess?

Maybe the first track is 79:45

I wonder if this is the kitchen where he wrote and composed the entire album

#Dadtronica

New single sounds decent, always preferred his stuff without vocals but I can appreciate the stuff with.

new single is #dadtronica

Baby's cool, definite back2thestart vibes. Plus, it's practically a dancefloor bomb compared to pretty much anything on his last album. Which I like, really, but never realized was so ironically titled until I listened to it again today.

Kieran has been signed to OWSLA and from what i've seen lately, i predict he will be diluting himself for the american edm audience. He's taking cues from Burial's percussion and the deep house trend a few years ago and making himself into something "new" for the domestic zeitgeist. I believe in a year he will be doing b2b with skrillex on main stages across the country. Mixed feelings there

Marginally excited for new album though

Guilty as charged. 
 

Always really enjoyed Four Tet...just not really feeling this new track though.

IDM edgelord sounds cool, any excuse to wear a cape!

Going to go against the grain here and say this latest track is my favorite thing he's done in the last couple of years.

Actually Teenage Birdsong is up there too, not sure about the video but I liked the tune better than Only Human, Dreamer, or some of those weird Wingdings tracks (although there was a really good one in there, the one with the vaporwavey window artwork).

So I guess that makes me kind of hopeful for this album.

IDM edgelord is dope term. not here to spread bad vibes. just discussing four tet on an IDM forum.
