Four Tet Announces Sixteen Oceans, Follow-up to New Energy

London-based producer Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) announced Tuesday that his new album is completed. Sixteen Oceans was announced via Instagram in a post showcasing a sticky note with the album’s tracklist written out, followed by “new album released March 2020.” One comment asks “Where R U gonna take us this time Kieran?” Sixteen Oceans is set to be Four Tet’s landmark tenth album, his fourth release under his own Text Records.

Four Tet’s last full-length release was 2017’s New Energy, but the producer has been quite busy since then. Among his works just last year were singles “Teenage Birdsong,” “Dreamer” and “Only Human,” three-track release “Anna Painting,” and a live album from the Alexandra Palace London. He also released an excellent duo of songs underneath his wingdings-titled alias.

Hebden’s music is noted for its heavy use of enigma, so we’re eager to see how he further pushes the Four Tet sound into new, elegant directions. Take a look at his tracklist below, as well as his set last year at The Lot Radio.
