Details of James Blake’s new release announced

James Blake will be releasing new tracks on the eleventh of December. The release will consist of A side ‘Love What Happened Here’ and B sides ‘At Birth’ and ‘Curbside’. It will be guided into the world by R&S, who also took care of Blake’s successful debut album.


An ongoing Academic discussion is what a child thinks at birth. From the safety of the womb a child is pushed violently into the world, blood everywhere, and its very first experience in this new world is his food being taken away from him and almost being choked by some sort of chord. To pleasurize this experience multiple theories have been tested. Theodore Rigurtz thought, to oppose all this violent imagery, to put a number of little cats in the delivery room so that when the baby comes out it sees all these cute furry things and thinks, Well, this is not so bad after all. However, when testing, the enormous amount of screaming led to the cats going berserk, jumping everywhere and hissing at everything, and when the baby came out he was greeted by a welcoming committee of ten angry cats standing right in front of him, backs arched. Which wouldn’t be so bad because, you know, to us they are small, but for a baby they are huge!   

Peter Disputz thought choirlike singing would be the answer. The baby would come out, and he would be greeted by a choir of angelic voices guiding his first steps on earth. So when the baby came out, the NY Baptist Choir launched into a rendition of Sweet Baby, My Baby. So you have to imagine, the baby comes out of the womb, which had softened and dulled every sound in the world, and the first thing happening in the open world are twenty people in robes going all out on volume. So the baby would start crying even harder to come out on top, but Disputz thought, Okay, the choir has to sing louder otherwise the baby won’t hear it, and this would go on for a couple of times until the baby couldn’t go on anymore and would resort to inaudible sobbing. So this was a problem, plus the fact that for this they needed a lot of choirs. And with the finest choirs, you know, that isn’t too bad, but with such a demand choirs formed that weren’t really that good. Increasing demand leads to lessening of the quality. So if you have ten subpar bands singing in adjacent delivery rooms, you can imagine some people trying to recover from pneumonia not being all that pleased.
