four tet - everything ecstatic
 

this is probably one of the best releases this year. if you haven't heard of four tet, its electronica with a lot of acoutic and odd sampling. people have called it folktronica, but that's just kinda foolish. if you like four tet caribou (fmrly manitoba) is really good too. i really enjoyed cariou's milk of human kindness as well.

haven't heard caribou yet. i like the new four tet, although i think his madvillain remixes ep has better grooves. seems like he is one of the artists (like beck, white stripes, NIN, sigur ros, sufjan stevens) who released a very good yet not world-shaking album this year. all of these acts have honed their craft and continue to make great music...and at the same time, i wasn't completely blown away by any one of them.
