Ardour is the debut studio album by Teebs. It was released on Brainfeeder on October 19, 2010.[2]

Production

When Teebs created the songs for the album, his father got ill.[3] The two spent more time together and understood each other.[3] Teebs made his father listen to his music for the first time.[3] After the death of his father, he took a break from creating music for about four or five months.[3] He then randomly bought some instruments such as a little flute and wind chimes and created a song called "Burner".[3] It took two years for him to create the album.[4]

Rory Gibb of The Quietus commented that "Ardour is a lush, sumptuous record, openly heartfelt and immediately welcoming, though deceptively complex beneath its gauzy surface."[9] Nate Patrin of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, writing, "It's wispy and gentle and a bit cheerful on the surface, but giving it a deep listen will bring forth some of the more complex and abrasive elements to the forefront."[7]

Kristina Benson of LA Weekly called it "one of the most delicate and lovely albums of the year".[13] Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times wrote, "it's one of the most anticipated records within the Los Angeles beat community".[14]
