Kieran Hebden, more commonly known as Four Tet<\/a>, has teamed up with guitarist William Tyler to reveal a new album, 41 Longfield Street Late ’80s<\/em>, due out in September.<\/p>\n

The album’s announcement came via social media, where Hebden shared that the pair began recording over three years ago during sessions in Los Angeles. Alongside a collection of studio photos, he announced that the first single, a cover of Lyle Lovett\u2019s “If I Had a Boat,” is out now.<\/p>\n

The project brings together two distinct musical voices, pairing Hebden\u2019s textured production with Tyler\u2019s expressive guitar work to explore new territory. Tyler, who previously played in Lambchop and Silver Jews, has since built a solo career defined by his contemplative blend of ambient folk and instrumental Americana. He finds an unlikely yet fluid match in Hebden\u2019s ever-evolving palette.<\/p>\n

Hebden said the albums primary\u00a0influence was he and Tyler “discovered a shared deep connection to \u201880s American country and folk music\u2014artists like Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, and Joe Ely.”<\/p>\n

“I think we both in our own specific ways want to recontextualize a lot of music that we grew up with, regardless of the genre, and I think that\u2019s what this album reflects,” Tyler added. “It\u2019s a lot of nostalgia but it\u2019s also very forward focused. I don\u2019t even know what genre I\u2019m supposed to be in at this point, but I trust Kieran and I love what we\u2019ve done together. He\u2019s become a dear friend and I can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s ahead for us.”<\/p>\n

The lead single offers the first look into that world. Their take on “If I Had a Boat” trades Lovett\u2019s country tone for something more atmospheric and spacious. Tyler\u2019s guitar takes the lead while Hebden surrounds it with ambient textures that slowly stretch and reframe the song\u2019s emotion.<\/p>\n
