Love Cry is nine minutes and fourteen seconds long and not a single second of it is wasted or superfluous. The long drone intro, interrupted eventually by some off kilter computer sounds flitting in and the thrum of bass, set up the remaining eight minutes. The drums kick in after a minute, rattling and urgent, there are synth squiggles and a three note refrain and after four minutes a vocal, a female voice fed through some kind of FX, intoning 'love cry'. The voice and synths get more and more mangled, the drums and patterns looped and repeated, the musical equivalent of a Möbius loop. Kieran breaks the whole thing apart eventually, the loops collapsing into each other and then a gentle ending, the calm after the storm. I have many favourite Four Tet tracks and Love Cry is absolutely one of them.

First time I heard this song, I lost my marbles. Kieran is the absolute GOAT.
Monday's Long Song is a title that evokes the quiet rhythm of a new week, blending reflection with the promise of fresh beginnings. Whether interpreted as a creative work, a musical composition, or a literary piece, it suggests a journey through the emotions and experiences that often accompany Mondays—a day associated with transition, renewed goals, and the return to everyday routines.
The theme centers on perseverance and finding meaning in ordinary moments. Rather than viewing Monday as simply the end of the weekend, Monday's Long Song presents it as an opportunity to embrace new challenges, rediscover motivation, and move forward with purpose. The "long song" becomes a metaphor for life's ongoing journey, filled with changing tempos, unexpected harmonies, and moments of quiet reflection. https://casoolacasino.org/
