James Blake...

...is this 21 year-old from England making these killer dubstep records that are finding their way into the libraries of audiofiles everywhere. Last year he released three EPs that all kinda sounded the same but were each individually great listens. If taken as a whole they could almost be considered his debut LP, especially if you consider how many 2010 best-of lists they landed on. But instead we have something better.

The three EPs, titled The Bells Sketch, CMYK, and Klavierwerke, respectively, were only the beginning, as we now have his official self-titled debut LP. Something of a switch, the new LP infuses his distinct dubstep style with elements of gospel, funk, and jazz to create something that sounds awfully original to these young ears.

The Bells Sketch/CMYK/Klavierwerke - 9/10
