The heavily anticipated self-titled debut from James Blake is out on February 7th through ATLAS and today the artwork and tracklisting was revealed.
It’s exactly what we hoped would come from a producer who challenged what can be achieved in the EP department this year, something that even on first glance looks and sounds like a fully realised body of work that will perhaps redirect the London sound in a direction that favours singing and songwriting while maintaining that post-Burial fog that has so wonderfully provided the capital with its own soundtrack over the past few years.
The tracklisting is as follows:
1. Unluck
2. Wilhelms Scream
3. I Never Learnt To Share
4. Lindesfarne I
5. Lindesfarne II
6. Limit To Your Love
7. Give Me My Month
8. To Care (Like You)
9. Why Don’t You Call Me
10. I Mind
11. Measurements
Look out for a review soon as this record is almost certainly going to be a buzzer in our ears for a good portion of 2011. Enjoy the video to his breakthrough ‘Limit To Your Love‘ below.

“We want to make London a regular stop!” declares Helmet vocalist/guitarist/sole founding member Page Hamilton, to obvious delight from the crowd. Indeed, it would be nice; this is Helmet’s first UK show in well over five years, and given that nearly two decades have passed since the release of their definitive ‘Meantime’ album, it’s just as well that their absence has seemingly made their fans’ hearts grow fonder.

You’d think that after breaking the world record for the longest solo live performance, Canadian pianist Gonzales might take it easy the following year or something.

Our very own backpacking connoisseur of independent hip-hop, Abjekt is currently over the pond in Minneapolis rocking with his Doomtree fam.

Our boy Abjekt was right up there with them, and you can watch it below before he pollutes every social networking site on the planet with it.
