New James Blake - Voyeur


James Blake is seemingly unstoppable right now. The 24-year-old is still a few weeks off from releasing his super-hyped Overgrown LP, and has been teasing with new tracks again and again. This weekend, we got a listen to the brand new "Voyeur," the fourth track heard so far from the LP.

Originally featured on Anne Hobbes' BBC Radio 6 show this weekend, "Voyeur" is simple looped vocal verse with jarring and driving split rhythms pacing the finish. Where it begins in contrast to where it ends, in terms of size and perspective scope is truly remarkable. It goes without much saying at this point that "Voyeur" is shaping up to be one of the year's best and is really transforming Blake into a wholly original and budding star.

Check out the track below and grab Overgrown April 8 on Republic Records.

New James Blake - And Holy Ghost


It's been a little more than a week since James Blake dropped "Digital Lion," another new cut from his increasingly anticipated Overgrown LP, but we've already got another new track to dig into.

"And Holy Ghost," a dizzying and spaced-out crawl with no Blake vocals to speak of, premiered via Benji B's BBC Radio 1 show earlier, but you can listen to the track below via Blake's 1-800 Dinosaur Soundcloud page.

Overgrown is due out April 8 via Polydor and Republic Records.

New James Blake - Digital Lion


"Digital Lion" was actually the second of two James Blake tracks released today. The first, "Voyeur," was unfortunately taken down, but the former will suffice for the time being. The new track has a modestly increased pace from anything we heard from the 24-year-old's self-titled release two years ago. That may have to do with the inclusion of none other than Brian Eno, who lends his help on the production.

Check it out below courtesy of Blake's 1-800-Dinosaur (not sure what that means either) Soundcloud, and pre-order Overgrown here.

New James Blake - Retrograde


As was promised yesterday, James Blake's brand new single, "Retrograde," premiered today on Zane Lowe's BBC 1 Radio show. The track has an elegant touch of Blake's looping harmonies with eventual electro drone overtones fans of his self-titled LP will be plenty familiar with.

Blake's next album, Overgrown, is due out April 8 via Republic Records.
