Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, is all about collaboration, so it’s not a surprise that he teamed with shadowy English dubstep crossover Burial, aka William Bevan. The results, “Moth” and “Wolf Cub,” arrive in a black sleeve and pressed onto a slab of 12″ vinyl with a black label. The lack of information’s a nice touch in this day and age of over-information, so in that spirit, it feels right to let you jump right into the sounds: “Moth” finds Reichian Gamelan giving way to wooden percussion and subtle background pitch/vocal smears, with an echoing spaciousness that remains throughout. “Wolf Cub” digs into a deeper, stutter-stopping, chiming/ringing/thumping club zone. Both are super mellow: A thoroughly enjoyable mind-meld bearing the fingerprints of both makers, but that also manages to lead them someplace new.

It’s not often two of the most respected musicians in their respective genres come together on a collaboration project and it’s even less often they do so with all the attention-seeking noise of a church mouse. If Will Bevan’s (aka Burial) statements upon revealing his identity ever needed echoing, Moth / Wolf Club certainly reaffirms his notion that he’s got his priorities right; these two are doing this for the love of the genres they’ve played such large roles in establishing, the fame is just a by-product. Interestingly enough, the pair come from the same backgrounds, having both attended the Elliott School in London, along with Hot Chip members Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor. A conspiracy even has it that the two are the same person, which if anything, may explain just how seamlessly the artists have adjusted their sound to not only accommodate but compliment the other on Moth / Wolf Club. Even those still hung up on the loss of Burial’s identity mystery will find reason to be intrigued by this release: distributed only on vinyl, packaged in a neat, blank, black sleeve, if it weren’t for the artists and track names being released from the label, Moth / Wolf Club would’ve been entirely uncredited. However, once this is playing, it’s not difficult to recognize the musical signatures scrawled carefully across either of the 9-minute tracks and though the distinction between each is very evident, they come together with expectedly dazzling results. “Moth” is exactly the song anyone familiar with Burial’s critically adored ‘Untrue’ would expect the East London musician to return with.

The dark, gritty atmospherics are a logical continuation on the course Untrue set itself, coming off his rougher but by no means tougher eponymous debut. Object Desktop Crack Autocad here. Though Untrue may have held itself with slightly more polish, it still resonated with a mean, ghostly cackle, like breeze coming down a dark back alley and as the distinctive two-step beat kicks in behind the reverberating bass, “Moth” envelopes its listener with that same lonely sound of a barren urban underground and it’s a feeling that’s all too familiar. Though Four Tet take a noticeable step back here, his elusive background tinkering adds a brighter texture to the mix, with twinkles floating back and forth behind the thumps and fuzz.
