Klavierwerke EP

James Blake

Ghostly piano loops meet heavy sub-bass in a masterclass of post-dubstep minimalism. A murky, late-night exploration of space, silence, and digital decay.

September 27, 2010 · R & S Records

A cold, clinical, yet deeply immersive sense of isolation and digital ghosts.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the title track's piano loop begins to disintegrate into digital static and muffled bass thumps.
The sudden, sharp vocal chop in 'I Only Know' that cuts through the dense, foggy atmosphere like a strobe light.
The final minute of 'Don't You Think I Do' where the rhythm dissolves into a pure, shimmering ambient wash.
