• Four Tet Fills In for Benji B, Drops New Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound, Madlib Tracks [Listen]

    While preparing for a massive tour, Four Tet has been dropping remixes, collaborations and original tracks of his own at a pace that suggests the producer is way too busy to leave his studio for even a sandwich, let alone substitute host a three-hour-long radio broadcast. Yet when Benji B needed someone to cover his BBC Radio 1 show, Kieran Hebden didn't just fill in: he went in, dropping tons of new and otherwise unreleased tracks by Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound, Madlib, Champion, Lil Silva and Future Islands' Samuel T. Herring, among others.

As coincidence would have it, NME also released its "best of" 2014 lists more than a month ahead of Christmas (which, unfortunately, may have hurt Britain's own One Direction down the stretch). St. Vincent took the top prize for Album of The Year with her self-titled release. Future Islands earned Track of The Year for "Seasons (Waiting On You)."
