Surprise and super-limited new release from Kieran Hebden, following up the blink-and-you'll-miss-it collaboration with Burial on another mysteriously undorned and brilliant 12" for his own Text imprint. On 'Love Cry' b/w 'Our Bells', he succinctly shows both sides of his oeuvre; the lush love of the dancefloor, and a chance to exercise his more esoteric inclinations. The live-sounding drums, gorgeously nuanced textures and blissful samples of 'Love Cry' couldn't really come from anyone else, especially when enveloped well into the track and the vocal loops begin to peel off into a deep house-meets-krautrock coda executed with that signature sleight of hand. If you're only going to put out two 12"s in a year, you'd expect the attention to detail to be high, and here it's absolutely exquisite. With 'Our Bells' on the flip he crafts a sublime beatless, gamelan influenced piece, like the Kosmiche resonance of the flip is allowed to seep through and glimmer all over the grooves, radiating incandescent ambient harmonics with a lustrous psychedelic blur. Seriously righteous wares, for the lovers...(be quick!!!)
A Love Cry
B Our Bells
