James Blake – Air & Lack Thereof
Mount Kimbie‘s talent James Blake just released a new 12″ on Hessle Audio that’s too far out there. People acclaim he’s defining the second wave of dubstep, but I can not grasp it. His style is unheard and as with all music that’s pushing the boundaries it takes a while before I can see the beauty of it. I’ve put an audio file of the new 12″ ‘The Bells Sketch’ on our facebook page. Feel free to discuss!
I really dig his Mount Kimbie work, and his debut single on Hemlock Recordings: ‘Air & Lack Thereof’. The atmosphere he creates in this track is mysterious, yet sunny and naive, an unheard combination of sounds and flow. Although difficult to grasp, a guy to watch in 2010!
