The impressive new release in the successful series of percussion/electronica collaborations between Kieran Hebden (Four Tet, Fridge) and Steve Reid (prolific percussionist, producer and genius drummer), Tongues follows on from the duo's acclaimed 2006 release Exchange Sessions, Volume 2. As you'd expect from two musicians so addicted to fresh sounds, Tongues find them speaking a whole new language. More focused and melodic than the Exchange Sessions, these short, sharp tracks deliver an even more concentrated, rich and melodic blast of improvisation, laced with explosive riffing from Reid's kit and exquisite electronic chops from Hebden's multiple sampler set-up. First radio single Brain is a dizzying onslaught of textured, sophisticated sound. Renowned for their extraordinary live shows, whether the audiences are coming from the jazz, drum'n'bass or even Detroit techno scenes, they're going away happy.
