Four Tet’s Beautiful Rewind (2013) stands out as one of his more raw and immediate releases, eschewing the polished, expansive sound of There Is Love in You (2010) and the later club-focused Morning/Evening (2015). Instead, it dives deep into pirate radio aesthetics, drawing heavily from UK garage, jungle, and grime influences while still maintaining Four Tet’s signature melodic touch.
Unlike the expansive, meticulously detailed There Is Love in You (2010), Beautiful Rewind feels rougher, more immediate, and deliberately unpolished. Tracks like "Kool FM" and "Buchla" are distorted, jittery homages to pirate radio MCs and old-school jungle, while "Parallel Jalebi" weaves haunting vocal loops into a hypnotic groove. The album thrives on unpredictability, balancing chaotic percussive elements with moments of eerie calm. As with most Four Tet projects, lyrics take a backseat to mood and atmosphere. The scattered vocal samples—often ghostly and obscured—add to the album’s enigmatic quality. Tracks like "Unicorn" and "Your Body Feels" introduce softer, more melancholic tones, preventing the album from becoming an entirely percussive onslaught.
