folk-electronicRecorded before the Warp deal and it shows in the best way — raw acoustic guitar processed through a homemade sensibility, with field recordings and digital grain sitting right up against something that feels genuinely pastoral. It is closer to lo-fi folk than anything electronic on its surface, but the way the textures are assembled feels unmistakably like a producer's mind at work. 'À tout à l'heure' has a kind of bittersweet open-air quality that his later work reached for but never quite recaptured.
