Four Tet Reworks The Durutti Column Track
The nine-minute rework of 'Your Shadow at Morning' reshapes a track from The Durutti Column's first new studio album in more than 16 years.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Dance and Electronic
Four Tet has released a nine-minute rework of The Durutti Column's 'Your Shadow at Morning', alongside a visualiser. The rework draws on a track from the band's album 'Renascent'.
Why it matters
The release comes ahead of 'For Vini: The Music', a performance at Manchester's Albert Hall on 19 November that will span the band's catalogue. Four Tet said he was asked to do a remix after a new album was announced.
The rework runs nine minutes and accompanies a visualiser release, while 'Renascent' is the first new studio album from The Durutti Column in more than 16 years. The source does not report sales or streaming figures for either release.
The players
Four Tet
Four Tet is the electronic music producer whose rework reshapes the Durutti Column track.
The Durutti Column
The Durutti Column is a long-running British post-punk and experimental band led by guitarist Vini Reilly.
The details
Four Tet built the rework on Vini Reilly's guitar lines, adding electronic flourishes and synth textures that push the original toward ambient electronics and minimal IDM. Four Tet said he learned about the band's music in the last couple of years.
Timeline
Four Tet began learning about The Durutti Column's catalogue roughly two years before the release.
The rework was released on 4 November 2026.
'For Vini: The Music' is scheduled for 19 November 2026 at Manchester's Albert Hall.
Season Trajectory
The rework extends the 'Renascent' album, The Durutti Column's first new studio release in more than 16 years, by reinterpreting one of its tracks through electronic production. The November performance at the Albert Hall positions the band's catalogue alongside this new electronic treatment.
'Renascent' is available on digital, CD, cassette and vinyl, so listeners can hear the original album alongside the new rework. The Albert Hall performance on 19 November offers a live opportunity to hear material from the band's catalogue.
The takeaway
Four Tet's rework shows how a decades-old track can be reframed through ambient electronics and minimal IDM without losing its unhurried, elegiac character. Listeners curious about the reinterpretation can compare it directly with the original on 'Renascent'.
What happens next
The Durutti Column performs 'For Vini: The Music' at Manchester's Albert Hall on 19 November 2026, with Stewart and Mitchell joined by Caoilfhionn Rose, Liz Rossi and Sam Morris. Vini Reilly will not perform owing to ongoing health conditions.
