2010 saw James Blake emerge as the leading
light in a populated world of forward
thinking music, expertly disposing of the
commonly used dubstep rule book with the
Bell Sketch 12" on Hessle Audio before
teaching daytime radio a strict lesson in
quality control with his R&S Records debut
CMYK EP. The worlds leading tastemakers
were beside themselves, showering the
internet with praise, whilst in the outer
reaches of the blog ether, rumours of
James songs began to surface.
The Klavierwerke EP features the first
glimpse of Blakes vocal, albeit cut,
pitched and intricately woven into four
tracks that offer an insight into James
futuristic soundscape. Where the R&B
sampling CMYK EP aimed at the dancefloor,
the Klavierwerke EP finds itself on an
insular and abstract plain, in places
reminiscent of Burials emotive urban hymms
while all the time maintaining the
distinct originality that sets James apart
from the rest.
The title track, a sonic realisation of a
recent Berlin escapade pays homage to
Berghain, the cavernous HQ of techno,
where languid pianos and James pitch
shifted vocals collide head on with moody
low frequencies. I Only Know (What I Know
Now) is a contemplative piece where James
voice is brought to the fore, casting a
solemn gaze over his own re-sampled piano
to create a contemporary masterpiece.
"Don t You Think I Do" follows a similar
path, drawing on a side-chained lead synth
and trademark piano. Tell Her Safe rounds
off the EP, further affecting the vocal
against a high tempo beat.
The perfect follow up to the huge CMYK EP
and a true representation of what s around
the corner for one of the most exciting
artists to emerge in years.
