With his newest E.P. 'Klavierwerke', Londoner James Blake cemented his young reputation as one of the most muscular and exciting in a new generation of IDM producers. Klavierwerke is a very restrained, almost classically austere group of four songs. The bulk of the material Blake is sampling is his own piano playing and singing; he's blending the line between a sampler like Burial and a singer songwriter. And the effect is tremendous, with earlier E.P.'s Blake proved he can make you dance, now he can make you cry. Klavierwerke is a perfect candidate for the term 'spiritual electronica'. Check out his video for a Feist cover 'Limit to your Love' and expect great things from this boy...He's clearly making moves.
