About the record

Kieran Hebden has been making records as Four Tet since 1998, from the folktronica of Pause and Rounds to There Is Love in You and his DJ sets with Skrillex and Fred Again. He took the name from a 1971 album by Dutch saxophonist Harry Verbeke, and he has always been happy to put music out his own way on Text, sometimes with little more explanation than a catalogue number.

That's very much the case here. The title, the artist credit and every track name are strings of symbols and glyphs, so most of us simply call it TEXT059. Inside are eight tracks, four a side, with three exclusive to this LP and the rest drawn from his recent Text singles. The music speaks perfectly good English, even if the sleeve doesn't.
