On Morning Side, the first track of this two-track album, a sample of Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar repeats, as Kieran “Four Tet” Hebden assembles beats and textures beneath Mangeshkar’s voice using Ableton software, complete with time glitches. On Evening Side – which seems to pack in more thematic dawns than Morning Side – a wordless sample repeats elegiacally, as the digital sands shift beneath, eventually morphing into something you might dance to. Producer and DJ Hebden’s bow has many strings, but this low-key treat finds space both for subcontinental rigour – classical Indian ragas are often categorised by times of day – and effortless prettiness.
