September 8th

Playing Robots Into Heaven follows the critically acclaimed Friends That Break Your Heart - James’ highest charting album in the UK to date - and will see James return to the electronic roots of his Hessle, Hemlock and R&S records days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the visuals and the album title.

 

I hate the „song“ or whatever this shall be.

oof finally a return to form. let’s forget his previous album ever happened! 

electronic roots THANK YOu

Love me some James Blake but babyyyyy...

 

 

(At least he did make a "song" that's longer than 2 minutes and just for this: we stan)

His best lead since Overgrown

My fav JB tracks are CMYK, Unluck, If A Car Besides You Moves Ahead and Sparing The Horses 

I've been waiting for this James Blake to return for ages, the song reminds me of people like Untold 

And finally there are no features they always felt gimmicky on his albums

The short version and the music video are awesome

if u talking about FTBYH u're wrong, but if its WD 😬 we can pretend it's not happened

Big Hammer is fire. A change in direction was much needed after that « critically acclaimed » (citation needed) last one, so I’m excited for the album. 

This album is incredible 

Can't wait to listen tomorrow 

TELL ME SOTY 

easily his best LP since The Color in Anything, maybe even Overgrown

An experimental masterpiece. Didn't expect that after his two last albums,

although "Big Hammer" has already been a hint.

I love his singing voice, but this feels more like a producer album than a singer album.

Not a fan at all of this record.

I know, yes. I still wanted to give this a try.

I wasn't expecting this.

I completely forgot this was coming out.

Fire The Editor is one of his best songs EVER

 

It's growing on me after a couple of listens.

I still think Loading >>>
