James Blake: Overgrown (180g) Vinyl 2LP
$37.95
<p><i>The much anticipated sophomore effort from <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&q=James+Blake" target="_blank"><strong>James Blake</strong></a> is here!</i> <i>Overgrown</i> comes just two years since Blake's <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&q=%22James+Blake+James+Blake%22" target="_blank">breakout debut</a>, and finds the young UK producer delving fully into his sound. The whole album is a intense and introspective experience - even with a guest a verse from the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&q=RZA" target="_blank"><strong>RZA</strong></a> (on "Take A Fall For Me"), there is nothing for the dancefloor here. Instead, your ears are treated to lush, melancholic textures, haunting melodies, and slow burning rhythms that transport you to a very personal space, a beautiful sonic reality. As much as I'll miss Blake's early instrumental dubstep experiments, the awesomeness of his current musical direction cannot be denied - and as a singer-songwriter, the music contained here is proof that he is on a whole other level. 10 tracks total on 180g vinyl, housed in beautiful gatefold sleeve.
