Watch a new video from James Blake for “Overgrown” (playing The TLA on 5/11)

JB7In the third video we’ve seen from James Blake‘s latest LP Overgrown, the electronic singer-songwriter takes a sleepwalking journey into the woods under a star-filled sky surrounded by cloaked figures.  The video for “Overgrown” was directed by Nabil, who has worked with Bon Iver and Frank Ocean and who is currently working with Daft Punk.  Overgrown, Blake’s follow-up to his 2010 self-titled debut, came out this week and was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, among them top marks from Pitchfork and Consequence of Sound.  James Blake will perform at The TLA on Saturday, May 11th; tickets and information can be found here.  Watch the video for the title track to Overgrown below.

Watch/listen to a new James Blake song, “Voyeur” (playing TLA on Saturday, May 11)

jamesblake Ever wonder what it would be like if you could take a trip through the grooves of a record while it was spinning? What would you see? What would you hear? Illustrator and animator Ferry Gouw has done just that for you. What you hear, is a song by James Blake, “Voyeur,” a hypnotic deep groove and dub-divined new song from his forthcoming album, Overgrown, out on April 8th. What you see is some tripped-out animated digitalism – some serious Tron-like escapism in the video – not to mention a spectacular sounding song from Mr. Blake. Watch/listen below. Blake plays the TLA on Saturday, May 11th. Go here for tickets.
