Burial is probably the most exciting artist to emerge in the last couple years, and Four Tet's recent material has been a vast improvement over his earlier folk-inflected work (in this reviewer's humble opinion!). One can imagine, then, how excited I was to hear about a collab between the two, and they totally didn't let me down. It's not a split EP, which immediately becomes apparent; both sides sound so eerily like both artists that if I'd heard these tracks in isolation, I literally would have said, "Wow, that sounds like Four Tet covering Burial, or something!" An extremely high quality 12", which truly combines the best of both styles - dubstep and a curious sort of laptop-based electronics.

One Little Plane is the project of singer/songwriter Kathryn Bint. Her gentle voice covers subdued guitar and gentle percussion, giving you no hint that drum enthusiast Kieran Hebden AKA Four Tet is behind the production. While Kieran adds subtle touches that no doubt add value to this record, what causes this record to be successful is its charm. Kathryn has a vocal delivery that is careless, yet involving, and each songs sounds like a time-honored classic on first listen. I definitely get a 90s feel from the record because of the vocals, even though I can't tie it to a particular influence. Somehow, Until has flown mostly under the radar even with the notable producer and props from Radiohead. Perhaps that's part of the appeal. everything about this record screams hidden gem, yet I could see just about everyone falling in love with it.
