Four Tet has returned to the studio with Skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Fred again… and more for new music on the horizon.
The prolific electronic music producer shared demos of five previously unreleased tracks this week just months after releasing Three, his 12th studio album. While each teaser is brief, fans can still get a sense of what to expect from Four Tet, who is revered for his ability to swing between genres with ease.
The first of the five is tentatively titled “Eye” and features a hyperactive beat that gives way to a wobbly bass towards the end of the clip. The second track will satisfy fans of Tet’s 2020 release. Sixteen oceansconsidering it's a new collaboration with Ellie Goulding in a similar vein to her track “Baby” from that album.
On the third demo, he takes on his KH alias (the initials of his full name, Kieran Hebden) for an uplifting, vocal offering with the working title “Still Falling.” Fans looking forward to a reunion with Hebden’s Coachella 2023 collaborators Fred again… and Skrillex will be excited to check out the fourth demo, titled “Human Voice PHM version.”
The fifth and final demo is the most mysterious, as Four Tet shared a screenshot of the title so zoomed in that it's impossible to decipher among the track's eerie keys and stealthy horns.
Four Tet has not announced a release date for any of the demos at the time of writing. Listen to them below.
