SXSW Recap: Newcomer James Blake Crosses the Pond
Categories: SXSW
Siran Babayan James Blake
What: James Blake
Where: Stubb's, Austin, TX
When: March 16

Blake's been a critic's darling since producing three EPs in 2010 and his just released self-titled debut, on which the singer sets a wounded, warbling falsetto (think Antony and the Johnsons meets D'Angelo) against a sparse, ambient dubstep soundscape, breathing soul into a soul-sucking genre.
