ASCII Bot vinyl

Four Tet certainly isn't doing anything by halves these days, with no less than three records on his Tex label surfacing in the space of a week. Dedicated Four Tetters will no doubt recall Text slipping out a record from the anonymous Percussions a few years back, and it now seems that Hebden has owned up to being behind the project. If you follow Four Tet on twitter you probably know all about the two tracks on Ascii Bot which seem to capture the producer's current style perfectly, all mushy chords, euphoric synth lines and big room-friendly vocal sampling that steer clear of unnecessary melodic noodling. "Blatant Water Cannon" is a particular gem, especially when that phasing comes in.
