the first dubturtle post is dedicated to this man:
JAMES BLAKE!
I've been a fan of Blake's for a while now, before all the BBC 'Sound of' hype, but the James Blake I knew back then is very different from the James Blake that is emerging now. I was introduced by a friend to 'Klavierwerke EP', and from there I discovered 'CMYK', and both EP's blew my mind - but it is his debut LP 'James Blake' that is truly worth fawning over. Chilled, but hectic. Melancholic, yet peaceful. 11 tracks of ethereal gold.
If you have 'SPOTIFY' you can listen to it there: 'James Blake – James Blake'
I, personally, couldn't care less if Blake lives up to his hype or not. I couldn't care less if he becomes a platinum-selling superstar, or gets relegated back to the underground doldrums he's emerged from, all I care about is that this music speaks to me. Never before have I been able to listen to an album on repeat, and still find something new with every spin. James Blake, dubturtle salutes you.
