871 is an album by British electronic musician Four Tet, under his alias 00110100 01010100, released on Christmas Day 2020 on his own label Text Records.[3]
The album's material was produced between August 1995 and January 1997, before the release of the first Four Tet EP in 1998.[4][2]
Damien Morris wrote in The Observer that "Its music mostly dates back to 1996, and you can hear the teenaged Hebden essaying plangent shoegaze, ambient techno and trip-hop..."
Philip Sherburne wrote for Pitchfork that "There are blasts of overdriven electric guitar, effects-pedal experiments steeped in line noise, and even a folk song played on hard-panned acoustic guitars. [. . .] There are glimmers of the palette that would come to define Four Tet's work, but mostly these pieces show the influence of the decade's mischievously experimental spirit."[2]
