Four Tet
Three

 

60--80点相当

 

 

Four Tet has become a surprisingly major presence in mainstream dance music, regularly teaming up with Skrillex and Fred again.. in addition to releasing festival anthems on Ministry of Sound. He still saves his most reflective material for his own albums, though, and 2024's Three is one of his most downtempo-focused efforts since the 2000s. Opener "Loved" does little more than layer pretty, sparkling melodies over a slow, sturdy drum loop, but it hits the spot. "Storm Crystals" is a more leisurely stroll and gets sprinkled with glittering synth textures and chimes. "Daydream Repeater" is the album's clubbiest track, applying noisy guitar glide to a flickering microhouse beat, then clearing out for a gorgeous harp-like melody. "Skater" is a moodier track featuring post-punk guitars, but the calming synths and wordless female vocals pull the tune away from the darker impulses implied at the beginning. "31 Bloom" is another low-key dance track with finely tuned beats and popping textures, mostly staying in a unified mode but always progressing with subtle variations and never exactly repeating itself. "Three Drums," an eight-minute track first issued as a single a year earlier, concludes the album.
