With the releases of the Anna Painting and Teenage Birdsong EPs in 2019 it was clear that Four Tet was gearing up for something big in the new year. What arrives is Sixteen Oceans, the producer’s first LP since 2017’s much-vaunted New Energy. Kieran Hebden makes good on the ‘sixteen’ of the record’s title here by stuffing the record with just as many tracks. In fact, with its mysterious D-side offering - we’re not going to let slip what it is - Sixteen Oceans runs to an even greater length. It’s certainly a bumper set.
Sixteen Oceans also reconfigures the Four Tet sound somewhat. New Energy reached back to the folksy style of Hebden’s early output, its tuned percussion and stringed instruments spilling out over the sides of his beats. There’s less of that here, something evidenced by Sixteen Oceans’ lead singles. The aforementioned ‘Teenage Birdsong’ appears once again, its lilting downtempo hip-hop drums and chirping lead line coming off like a more cerebral Gold Panda joint. Meanwhile ‘Baby’ is a crisp two-step garage jam built around the chopped-up vocals of none other than Ellie Goulding.
Whereas New Energy channelled Rounds, Sixteen Oceans has more in common with Four Tet’s mid-period records like Pink and There Is Love In You. That said, the new-age and ambient influences that informed New Energy still exert an influence here - ‘4T Recordings’, for instance, is a gorgeous mix of ethereal vocals and dawn-chorus electronics.
