Four Tet released his great new album Three earlier this year, and is now back with a new single, “In My Dreams.” It features Ellie Goulding, who he’s collaborated with in the past.
“At the end of last year Ellie texted me with a couple of voice notes for a song idea,” Four Tet says. “Words and melodies she was singing into her phone and she asked me if I could use them to make something. She’s told me in the past she likes to send me vocals that I can just use as sound and turn into whatever I want (which is how the track ‘Baby‘ happened a few years ago). I found other sounds to go with it and made ‘In My Dreams.’ She added some new vocal parts but we ended up keeping the voice note recordings as the main vocal. I guess the first take is often the most magical.”

Four Tet will be on the West Coast later this month for headlining festival sets at San Francisco’s Portola and CRSSD in San Diego. He’s also got a couple London shows this fall, and all dates are listed below
