Christmas and New Year’s have long since passed, but apparently it’s the season for… Kieran Hebden metaphorically scrounging around in his basement and selling some rare and/or expensive antiques?
Back in January we reported on the release of Four Tet’s 0181, an album of previously unreleased material, composed prior to the groundbreaking Pause, released in 2001. Place Pause next to the equally earth-disrupting Rounds, released two years later, and force me to choose between the two, or the adorable kitten “GETS IT!,” and I’m almost certain that we’d end up with some new crimson-stained feline orifices, because it’s just so hard. Both albums are great, and there’s no shortage of cute kittens in the world.
Here’s one thing that Rounds has that Pause doesn’t: a reissue from Domino on May 14, celebrating the 10th anniversary of its release. And this reissue isn’t without its bells and xylophones; in addition to the original album, there’s also a bonus disc of a live set that Four Tet performed in Copenhagen around the time of Rounds’ novelty. May’s a ways away, so feel free to pre-order the album here. People do that, right?
