Single Review: Four Tet – Sing (Domino)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 23 March 2010
The fifth album from Four Tet, aka Kieran Hebden, arrives following his collaborations with dubstep tour-de-force Burial, and a much acclaimed residency at hallowed east London hip-Mecca Plastic People.
On ‘Sing’, both these influences make themselves known to stunning effect. Belying the track’s hypnotic, insistent subtleness, there’s a complex layering of textures that lends itself to the club floor as much as to the chin-stroking dance aficionado’s headphones. As stumbling as it is meticulously taut, the track’s eerily warped female vocal brings an icy slickness to the rhythmically pulsating beat.
‘Sing’ glimmers with intricacy and scuttling Nintendo-esque loops, which form an almost mantra-like repetitiveness, derived as much from tribal beats as clinical synth electronica. Intense yet painstakingly delicate; the ethereality track projects is a glittering example of Four Tet’s brilliance. EG
