About

Morning/Evening is the eighth full-length solo album by British electronic musician Kieran Hebden, released under his alias Four Tet in 2015 by Hebden's own Text Records.

As a child, Hebden had inherited a collection of Hindu devotional music from his late grandfather but did not listen to it until his maternal grandmother died during the making of his 2013 album, Beautiful Rewind.

After sampling the voice of Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar, Hebden was inspired to make a record with a similar structure to Indian music, particularly the raga mode and decided to break the album into a "Morning Side" and an "Evening Side". Alongside the sampled vocals, Morning/Evening contains complex drum programming, electronic sounds and manipulated found sounds.

Hebden also drew influences from English electronic music group Autechre and early electronic music, including American electronic composer Morton Subotnick's 1967 composition Silver Apples of the Moon, and wanted the album's production to sound like a low fidelity recording, while maintaining moments of high fidelity.

Music critics praised Hebden for continuing to release challenging and unique electronic music. he physical release of Morning/Evening became Hebden's second highest-charting album. - Wiki
