41 Longfield Street Late ‘80s

Often the most prominent artists in a genre will, over time, reach a level where the innovative is completely out of sight, but that isn't the case with 41 Longfield Street Late ‘80s, Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet's collaboration with William Tyler; the nerdiest of team-ups that has sat in my most listened to albums for months. The balance of ambience and instrumental guitars here is one that I could sit in for hours and these seven tracks are among both artists best. - Hunter

The debut collaborative album from world-renowned UK producer, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), and American guitarist, William Tyler. Inspired by their shared deep connection to 1980s American country and folk artists such as Lyle Lovett, Nancy Griffith, Joe Ely and David Grissom. A cover of Lyle Lovett's song “If I Had a Boat” is the most literal pull from this ‘80s country sound, accompanied by soft synth tones.
