Two years after his debut album took UK bass culture down previously unimagined roads of introspection, James Blake returns with the epic Retrograde.

Combining his heart-piercing songwriter side with a skyscraper of soaring electronics, Retrograde takes the listener surfing on an emotional sine wave, an electronic soul testament that earmarks him out as the successor to the thrones long since vacated by Massive Attack and the Aphex Twin.

Retrograde is the perfect introduction to his second LP Overgrown, an incredible album that sees James growing as a singer and songwriter while at the same time returning to the brain melting electronic perfection of his early releases on Hemlock and Hessle, moving way beyond any post-dubstep pigeonholes to include stunning reinterpretations of both hip-hop and house.
