Best James Blake album since the debut. Doesn't get bogged down like Colour in ANything did, doesn't get too glitchy and non-melodic like the back side of Overgrown.

I reviewed in college for the Rice Thresher and now write for the Berkeley B Side. Indie rocker at heart, though fan of all genres (except metal).
