James Blake - Overgrown

[zeta]

Just nabbed a copy of it. So far the best album I've heard all year. Such a step-up from his debut, and some of the tunes are absolutely massive.

What do you all think of it?

[Gurnumsbug]

By far one of my favorite and currently on repeat tunes is, Life Round Here!
Very neat album!

[wehlfest]

I definitely rate this album.

Digital Lion and that tune w/ RZA

Didn't even know he had a new coming out, will have a hunt for it now!

One of the best albums i've heard in the past 12 months, a real step up from his debut

every song on it is really, really good

[Pedro Sánchez]

It's nice, even the bait verse from RZA can be forgiven because the backing is solid.

Bumped it on spotify, first half of the album is great. Gets moist and boring after that, lost me after whatever song started going ' oh canada'...

It'll take another several listens
which is more than I gave his first because this is more intriguing
with the spaces being less predictable and the melodies less obvious.
His voice sounds like a less throaty Anthony of the Johnsons
with the vital difference that he uses it sparingly enough to not lose interest.
The production is more finely detailed
but I'm unsure as to whether the noodling will hold up over time
without more memorable rythms and beats to hang on.
I need to hear the sub-bass's full impact on a big rig.

just a little peeve:
the CD jacket lists the track details in a repetitive way without giving much info at all,
a waste of 8 or so pages particularly when the fotos are non-descript.

You sure you listening to the right album 'A Case Of You' was on his first album if I'm not mistaken.

I'm not a fan of his singing at all.

Ha maybe, I definitely checked the album on Spotify, but that will automatically play everything he's made on there after that, so might have gone on to some other thing he's done.

[Bloodstream]

will upload later a new live session from james

[Gurnumsbug]

Take A Fall For Me, Dim, and Our Love Comes Back are also on repeat atm!
Our Love Comes Back is such a sexual sounding song, I can't get enough of it!

[jonesy]

Fuck me, "To The Last" is soo huuuge!

[kultron]

Awesome album, though I think he should take singing lessons and sing less in his head... it sounds kind of whiny at times, I think he could do better. Other than that, flawless album.

This only went up on Spotify yesterday so yes you were definitely listening to 'Enough Thunder'. That song you mention is also a Joni Mitchell cover

[Shum]

he's gonna be on Gilles Petersons' show this weekend

Overgrown was definitely up when I listened to it (I synced it and can see the files right now). Need to have a relisten to just that tho!
