Four Tet - Beautiful Rewind LP

Released in 2013 on Kieran Hebden’s own Text Records, Beautiful Rewind sees Four Tet returning to a raw, underground aesthetic. Stripped of the glossy polish found on some of his earlier releases, this album channels the spirit of pirate radio, UK garage, jungle, and broken beat—all reimagined through Four Tet’s signature sonic lens.

From the rhythmic urgency of “Kool FM” to the ambient textures of “Unicorn,” Beautiful Rewind feels spontaneous and unpredictable, driven by instinct and experimentation. The album was released with no pre-hype, no streaming, no marketing campaign—just pure music, delivered on Hebden’s terms.
