Four Tet, There is Love in You
Kieran Hebden has had a good time of it just lately. The guitarist turned much-feted producer and DJ has continued along the rosy path of critical adoration, and he's done so by consistently straying from his comfort zone. Along the way, he has shed the long-standing ‘folktronica' tag that dogged his early Four Tet and effectively reinvented himself.
Gil Scott-Heron, I'm New Here
Thirteen years is a long time to go without releasing an album. Thirteen years ago I had just discovered the joy of self-love. I had just stopped being afraid of the dark. I had just learned how to take those massive bong hits like Ghostface Killah. Back then, flute solos were a serious and beautiful component of a song.

Description:
Aside from sick Ninja Turtle pyjamas, I don't remember too much of the 80s. As time passed and things got dreary, I felt an inexplicable pull toward the drama, excess and danger that defined the decade of my birth. So now, as I look back to four-year-old Joey's wardrobe for inspiration, I realise that, yet again, the 80s are back.
