I have a confession to make. I once listened to UK DJ James Blake's cover of Feist's "Limit to Your Love" 16 times in a row. It's fair to say that I'm enthralled by his voice and restrained but pulsating style.
Blake has just released his self-titled debut full-length after a string of heralded EPs and singles. One of the only downsides about my extended vacation abroad is not being able to get my hands on a lot of new music, like this one. If you're in a similar position as me, or just want to check out more of his music before heading to the record store, check out four tracks from the album streaming at NPR.
As for Blake's latest single, "The Wilhelm Scream"? I'm on play #4. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
