| 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. |
