James Blake - Self Titled

This album has a real simplistic, drawn out electronic production with a lot of space between each element. He does a great job managing the momentum of each song throughout the album. He uses loops, synthesizers and repetitive processed vocals to create a solemn cavernous sound-scape.

Sounds like a particular kind of electronic blues. Not bad for a white guys from London. I believe that he did a majority of this work while studying at Goldsmiths. The album can be heavy in parts, but I promise that it all plays out well. The whole thing is excellent and runs together well; perfect for those late night drives on a vast open road.

Stand out songs are Lindesfarne I & I , Wilhelms Scream, & Limit To Your Love. The video below is for Lindesfarne and is real beautiful.
