Some copies were sold via the James Blake website with a signed artcard.
When its forthcoming release was announced earlier in the year, the Before EP was trumpeted as James Blake's "return to dance music" after years of flirting at the edges of drowsy pop. That in itself is notable, of course, but is it any good? It certainly contains some of Blake's boldest and most bass-heavy workouts for some time. Check, for example, opener 'I Keep Calling', where swooping neo-classical strings, sparkling electronic melodies and Blake's distinctive eyes-closed vocals rise above booming bass and beats that can't decide whether they're inspired by 140, dubstep or house. Then there's 'Before', a glitchy chunk of neo-classical/minimal techno/chamber pop fusion, and 'Summer of Now', whose delicate balance of heart-aching, string-laden blue-eyed soul and dancefloor experimentation recalls some of Blake's most potent early work.
