Four Tet
"Rounds" (CD)

Kieran Hebdan's alter-ego's 2003 album drove me many a mile across an otherwise boring stretch of Northwest Ohio.

I can't quite remember where I first heard Four Tet's music, but I'm pretty sure it was the song "My Angel Rocks Back and Forth" which led me to finding this, a whole album of trippy, compound-meter "folktronic" wanderings.

Mr. Hebdan considers his music a blend of electronic and acoustic influences and for me it's a good recipe. Too little drum beat or mandolin and things are lost in a digital soundscape.
