Lata Mangeshkar
DJ/producer Kieran Hebden recently released
a surprise album under his alter ego
Percussions. Just last week in a new surprise move, he released a new recording as
Four Tet a few weeks ahead of that record's planned release date.
Both sides feature samples of the great Indian vocalist Lata Mangeshkar. I've been playing them nonstop since the stream made the rounds last Thursday, and have been leaving it on loop all day long.
Consequence of Sound:
Morning/Evening serves as the follow-up to 2013’s Beautiful Rewind. The album is just two tracks, one titled “Morning” and the other “Evening”, clocking in at a total of 40-minutes and 17-seconds. In celebration of the first official day of summer, Four Tet has made the record available online via Bandcamp.
CD and vinyl versions are out now on Text Records. Stream and/or purchase the whole thing below.

It’s time to de-clutter your charging […]
Brush up on those interview skills all you like, but all the charm in the world won’t help you past the primary obstacle for modern job seekers: Applicant tracking systems. These bots comb online applications before a human ever sees them, searching for keywords that would indicate particular titles or skills. That’s where Rezi Résumé […]
Details are the bane of any manager. It’s tough to innovate when you’ve got invoices to approve, gripes to address and countless fires to put out on any number of projects.
