Three is the twelfth studio album by British electronic musician Four Tet. It was released on 15 March 2024 through Text Records.
Background and singles[edit]
After the release of two solo albums in 2020, the musician collaborated with other artists, including Madlib, Skrillex and Fred Again, and fought a legal battle with the Domino Recording Company concerning streaming royalties in 2021 and 2022.[1] Returning to solo endeavours, Hebden released the lead single of his forthcoming album "Three Drums" on 27 April 2023, "a wall of electronic noise" supported by a "laid back beat" and a hint of "early 90s hip-hop".[2] The opening track "Loved" was released on 10 January 2024 and features a "slowed, mellow drum beat" combined with "soft keyboard sounds".[3]
The musician announced Three on 14 February, alongside the release of "Daydream Repeat", described as "gorgeously hypnotic".[4] The album artwork was designed by Jason Evans and Matthew Cooper.[5] In promotion of the record, Hebden is set to host the "Four Tet & Friends" event in New York on 4–5 May with performances from Floating Points, Ben UFO, and others.[6]
