Kieran Hebden isn't one to take long breaks — opting instead to jump between musical projects. He recently delivered 2011 Until 2014 as Percussions, but has now offered up a new track under his Four Tet moniker.
 
Titled "Makondi," the tune hears him paired up with Emanative for a reinterpretation of Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell's 1982 jazz song of the same name. It appears on Emanative's album The Light Years of the Darkness.
 
The track gives off a worldly feel, with playful percussion and manipulated instrumentation that puts a slightly electronic vibe on a tribal-sounding number. Give it a spin below.
