Headphones is the only way to listen to James Blake unless you are at a live show. Holy damn the bass will give you a heart arrhythmia . I personally think he sounds better live. Amazing show on Oct. 5, 2011 in NYC.
@BradyEleven its a noise generator on the synth, u can see him adjusting it and how the white noise jumps whenever he does a large change. i think abbey road is pretty good about that stuff, or i'd like to think so.
When he says his lyrics are "normally written on like a train or a plane or summet" (0:17) All I imagine is him clinging on to the wing of a cross atlantic flight, wind in his hair, armed only with a biro, scribbling away on an aerofoil...Such is the power and prowess of the Blake. Like a musical Chuck Norris...
When I first heard James Blake I loved his music. Then a friend told me to listen to him with headphones, and after obliging I loved him 100 times more.
anyone know what pedal(s) the guitarist is using to get all that distortion at the end?
