Preview the New James Blake LP

A few days ago, I posted a piece about James Blake and why we should all be interested in his upcoming self-titled debut LP (to be released in North America February 8).

Well, here is an opportunity to listen to the entire album before its release next week.

These eleven songs clock in at a total of 35 minutes.  So it won't take a huge time investment to preview the album.  Besides the already-previewed "Wilhelm Scream" and "Limit to Your Love", the opening track "Unlock" is a highlight, as is the haunting "To Care (Like You)".  And I was surprised to pick up a few hints of Bon Iver (on "Lindisfarne I" and "Lindisfarne II") and Antony and the Johnsons (on "Why Don't You Call Me") in this particular Blake variety.  See if you can hear similar influences.

Enjoy!
