Four Tet - Sixteen Oceans

Four Tet's Sixteen Oceans balances melodic club music with intimate ambient sketches. Originally released in 2020, Kieran Hebden's album threads intricate rhythms, soft synthesiser tones and natural textures into a varied but cohesive listen.

Baby, featuring vocals by Ellie Goulding, and Teenage Birdsong offer two of its most immediate moments, while Love Salad and Insect Near Piha Beach stretch into deeper rhythmic territory. The quieter pieces leave space around the beats and reward listening from beginning to end. This double vinyl edition presents the 16 album tracks across three sides, with 16 locked grooves on the fourth.
