The new Four Tet LP came out today, its a pretty massive album to come out for a January release which is usually a slow month to put out albums. I tried to describe the opening song to the album as its like an organic cover by The Field of Sally Shapiro if she was fronting a Dream Pop group instead of doing Disco.
Here’s a preview/leaked single of the upcoming Caribou LP that’s coming out in March, Dan Snaith is sounding like Erlend Oye here in sections, really nice and upbeat but has a lo-fi touch to it, I wonder what this will do for Caribou live?
Joy Orbison may only have his second EP out and seeing how much talk there was about him in 2009 he will definitely make an impact on 2010 if and when he drops his LP for everyone. Its a nice take on Dubby Techno with small reference’s of Burial meets Pepe Bradock.
Now we completely change gears with a Southwestern feeling song by Taken By Trees, I know its maybe filed under indie rock but I can see slow disco heads playing the the crap out of this song.
dan snaith has been listening to arthur russell . good man.
Odessa is brilliant.
And new Four Tet album comes from the future.
Odessa is d0pe. Thank you, Jakub.
SUPER excited about both Four Tet and Caribou’s new stuff.
I also enjoy Taken by Trees WAY more than the Concretes stuff. I agree with the slow-disco stuff.. if you sped that track’s bpm up a tiny bit, you’d have me dancing like fool.
Okay, here’s me listening to your selection, and then, completely blown away, going out to buy the music … thanks Jakub!
FYI there’s a free download of Odessa @ http://www.caribou.fm/
Look in the left column under Swim for the line that reads “Go here to download the first single ‘Odessa'”
How bloody awesome are these track. I dunno if you can get the BBC iPlayer in the states but you should check out Gilles Petersons show. He had mr Joy Orbison on a few weeks agohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wq8d

Loving the new Four Tet. “Rounds” is a certified classic, but this is certainly his most focused effort to date. Can’t wait for the new Caribou record as well. What do you think of the new Bullion & Mux Mool singles (“Say Goodbye To What” & “Lady Linda” respectively)?
Thanks for FourTet, the others are interesting but that last one just sounds too much like Neil Young’s ‘Winterlong’.
That ‘Taken by Trees’ track is awesome. She’s got a pretty classy voice. Thanks for the heads up.
