  Four Tet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Four Tet is the name used by Kieran Hebden for his electronic music-oriented solo efforts to differentiate from his work with post-rock band Fridge.
Four Tet is highly respected in many parts of Europe (most notably in Hebden's native Britain) as an original and talented experimental electronic artist, but remains relatively unknown in the United States.
In 2001, Four Tet's second album Pause was released on Domino and found Hebden using more folk and electronic samples, which was quickly dubbed "folktronica" by the media and press in an attempt to label the style (often also applied to artists such as Isan and Gravenhurst).

 Four Tet - Pause (Domino)
Four Tet particularly, even when compared to Fridge, has a pop sense that makes Pause a remarkably enjoyable record.
The opening is brilliant: the clacking of a keyboard segues into the rolling drum rhythms and elliptical acoustic guitar melody of "Glue of the World." A similar idea is worked in "Everything is Alright," where hyper, jazz-infected drums are mixed up with acid-folk guitar and piano (or, "Untangle," which mixes electro beats and a harp).
Hebden, as his work with both Four Tet and Fridge demonstrate, is a musician of unusual skill and versatility, who will hopefully receive commensurate recognition.
