Four Tet Announces Tour Dates

As Pitchfork reported in February, Kieran Hebden's Four Tet is set to unveil a brand new LP on May 23 in the UK and May 31 stateside. According to Hebden, the upcoming release, Everything Ecstatic, will vary big-time from his back catalog, forsaking the acoustic instrumentation of Pause and Rounds for a more "manic" approach, influenced by prog and Detroit techno. So, if you didn't get to catch Four Tet at Coachella, here's another couple chances to check out the man and his lap-top. Hopefully the prog thing means he'll be wearing a cape. Dates:

06-02 Edinburgh, Scotland - Cabaret Voltaire *
06-03 Hebden Bridge, England - Hebden Bridge Picture House #
06-04 London, England - Koko %
06-11 Toronto, Canada - Opera House $
