Surprise and super-limited new release from Kieran Hebden, following up the blink-and-you-will-miss-it collaboration with Burial on another mysteriously undorned and brilliant 12 inch 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< couldnt 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 are only going to put out two 12 inches in a year, youd expect the attention to detail to be high, and here its 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!)
