FOUR TET

We take a second to chat with electronic solo artist Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet. We first met Kieran on our last visit to Austin, TX for Fun Fun Fun Fest where he played one of the most impressive sets we experienced. Originally a member of Fridge in the late 90's, Hebden went on to make his own music under the name Four Tet and released his first album, Dialogue, in 1999. Since then, he has put out six more full-length albums, the latest being There Is Love In You featuring the lead single, Love Cry, which has been on our office playlist for quite some time. You can catch him on his current tour through Europe as well as some stops along the East Coast of the states. For more on Four Tet, head on over to his DOT COM and click around...
