Four Tet Drops Two New Surprise Albums For Christmas

This year has been huge for Four Tet, at the beginning of this year he released his tenth album, Sixteen Oceans as well as a two track EP Her Revolution/His Rope with frequent collaborator Burial and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke at the start of this month.

As the year starts to come to a close and we’re all tucking into turkey, the London-born artist doesn’t just treat us to one, but two full length albums!

The first one, titled 871, released under the “00110100 01010100” alias (fun fact, 00110100 01010100 is “4T” in binary) is a bunch of sound design experiments that were originally recorded between 1995 and 1997.

The second album, Parallel, is a more traditional Four Tet album filled with more typical sounds and styles that you would come to expect from the Text Records label owner.

So if you’re a big Four Tet fan and looking for more music to sink your teeth into, then I’m sure this musical feast will keep you busy over Christmas.

871 and Parallel by Four Tet are out now on Text Records. Purchase 871 on Bandcamp here and Parallel here
