Description
2022 reissue, 12″ EP, R&S Records. Rainbow splatter vinyl.
James Blake may have gone on to bigger and better things since CMYK was initially released in 2010, but it remains one of the most significant and consistently impressive EPs in his sprawling catalogue. Effectively the EP that made him one of the most hyped producers of the period, it still sounds great all these years on (and now looks better than ever thanks to a “splattered” vinyl pressing. Highlights include the title track, a wonderfully woozy, post-dubstep chunk of melodic bass music bliss, the jazzier, sub-heavy weight of ‘Foot Notes’, and the sparse, slow-motion sleaze of ‘Postpone’. A classic EP that should be in everyone’s record collection. – Juno
