Description

James Blake's debut LP is a breakthrough assortment of collected sounds and styles. Merging mournful, soulful RnB crooning with densely layered soundscapes and isolated electronica his avant garde mix of post dubstep, minimal ambience and bluesy piano playing saw this record get plenty of recognition and attention. When you listen to it in full it's easy to see why.
The copy for sale is a double gatefold LP offering four separate sides of experimental electronica, a must have for fans of the genre and newcomers alike.
