Last Wednesday, James Blake posted the following message to his Twitter: "24th August 2011 - James Blake & Bon Iver 'Fall Creek Boys Choir'". It is now August 24, and BBC Radio 1 has premiered the track. Listen to it below:
According to a press release, "Over the past year James has cited Justin as a key influence and it was via a chance meeting at this years SXSW festival in Austin, Texas that the seed was sown for a future collaboration." The track was "formed in the spring over email." It features Justin Vernon on vocals and James Blake on production. It will be available on iTunes on August 29.
At the bottom of the Youtube page for the song, it says, "Enough Thunder - Oct 2011". "Enough Thunder" is the name of a new track Blake has been performing live recently. No other info is available now.

When he's not off collaborating with Bon Iver, James Blake is making music on his own, you know? You probably did know. The young Prince of Dubstep has just confirmed the release of some new material, too, in the form of an EP. It's called Enough Thunder and will be released through Atlas on October 10.
It actually does include the Bon Iver collaboration (which can be heard below) as well as his cover of Joni Mitchell's 'A Case Of You'. The remaining four tracks are James Blake originals. So that's something to look forward to.
There's also a few additional James Blake tour dates coming up. Have a look where and when they are below:
November:
25 - Leeds, University
26 - Manchester, Warehouse Project
29 - Bristol, Anson Rooms
30 - London, The Forum

Stream the New James Blake EP
Back in February when James Blake first covered Joni Mitchell’s ‘A Case of You’, he told Zane Lowe that she was an artist he’d always loved and hinted that he might try her style of songwriting in the future. But, while the song features on his new EP ‘Enough Thunder’, it’s not all Mitchell style warbling. There’s the much mocked collaboration with Bon Iver for starters, plus three more tracks. ‘Once We All Agree’ is slow and sparse (a spare album track, perhaps?), ‘We Might Feel Unsound’ is spooky, loopy gospel, Not Long Now glitches its way over more than 5 minutes and the title track has Blake pour out his achey breaky heart. But what do you think? Listen to the full EP and check out November tour dates, below.
Friday 25th November – University – Leeds
Saturday 26th November – Warehouse Project – Manchester
Tuesday 29th November – Anson Rooms – Bristol
Wednesday 30th November – The Forum – London

JAMES BLAKE PLOTS MORE BON IVER COLLABORATIONS, 'AGGRESSIVE' NEW ALBUM
Dubstep-inspired singer-songwriter James Blake recently took time off to "hibernate" and collect his thoughts for the first time since his cover of Feist's 'Limit to Your Love' propelled him to stardom in early 2011, earning the young artist a Mercury Prize nomination and a relentless tour schedule.
Amidst his accolades and achievements, the soft-spoken, somewhat unwitting face of U.K. dubstep ran afoul of the American media late last year when he criticized the genre's fan base, claiming that "certain producers -- who I can't even be bothered naming -- have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there's this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel."
As Blake prepared to the share the stage with avant-garde legends Philip Glass, Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson at the 22nd Annual Tibet House Benefit at Carnegie Hall, we spoke with him about working with Bon Iver, his "aggressive" new album, and his current feelings about dubstep in the U.S.
So what are you working on these days?
I've been doing lots of things. Mainly just trying to use the time to be relaxed and away from everything that tour brings, which is normally a sort of unrest in your inner soul [laughs]. You're constantly away, and the musical part of you, which is pretty much most of me, really, is only really half being stimulated, if you know what I mean. The ideas are quite hard to come by, which is why you see a lot of acts having real problems after that touring period, adjusting back to life, because when you're on the road, it feels like every idea is convoluted. But then, when you get back from tour, you've got some head space. It's all about head space.
Speaking of which, we heard that you're working on some "clubby" new songs.
I have been. A lot of the vocal music I've been doing recently has been quite clubby. But that's mainly because I've had more time to go to clubs, and that normally breeds that kind of influence. I've been doing quite a few DJ sets recently, which have been really fun.
Cool, and what are you veering towards for the new record? Is it more contemplative or dance-floor oriented?
I think it's going to be a bit more aggressive, to be honest. It seems that way. I don't feel more aggressive, it's just been ... it's just how I feel. In terms of writing more club tracks, writing more electronically influenced -- I feel like it was all electronically influenced, but now that influence has come to me in a different way.

James Blake Talks About His 'Overgrown' Album, His Growth and Huge Fan Kanye West
The jury’s out on whether James Blake—whose second album, “Overgrown,” is due April 9 through Atlas/Republic—will ever be a star in the United States. But several prominent music icons are already on a first-name basis with the English singer/songwriter/producer, thanks to his trippy amalgam of R&B and woozy electronica.
“Kanye [West] has been very supportive,” Blake says from his hotel room in Austin, where he returned for another performance at South by Southwest this year. In a behind-the-scenes YouTube clip from Jay-Z and West’s 2011 Watch the Throne tour, Blake is seen hanging out with the two rappers.
“[West] played one of my tunes to a lot of people in the room. I’m very flattered by it.” According to Blake, West clued Stevie Wonder to his music as well. “I couldn’t help thinking how much the box had opened when I found out Stevie had heard one of my [old] tunes,” he says. “Some tune I put out at 18 that probably sold 5,000 copies. You never know where it’s going to end up.”
But A-list fans don’t necessarily translate into fans elsewhere. Blake’s self-titled 2011 debut LP only reached No. 123 on the Billboard 200. And while Republic co-president Avery Lipman says it’s nearing 500,000 records sold worldwide, North America accounts for just 65,000 of that, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Lipman hopes old-fashioned word-of-mouth—fueled by tastemakers on social
Media—will continue to make his job easier. “Let’s face it,” he says, “relatively speaking, he’s still completely unknown. [But] other popular artists today are, in essence, broadcasters. The biggest of the big artists are starting to recognize him and be vocal about him. That can be very impactful with things like Twitter. Words travel.”
Luckily, West hasn’t been the only person helping get the word out. Blake’s sullen “The Wilhelm Scream” was featured in a dramatic closing scene in an episode of HBO’s “Entourage,” helping make the single his biggest selling yet, moving 36,000 copies and peaking at No. 36 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.
Another possible workaround for bigger exposure: a brand using his music in an ad. Blake claims “there are quite a lot” of offers on the table, but says Brits are more weary of such deals. “People are a lot more ready to see artists do big promotion like that in America,” he says. “It’s easier to do that here and get away with it and not feel like you’ve sold out or whatever.”
In the end, however, for “Overgrown” to achieve the top 10 debut Lipman hopes for—a goal he admits is “ambitious”—the music is going to have to speak for itself.
It’s certainly saying plenty about one particular topic: love. Blake sang a bit about it on his debut, but had yet to fully experience the feeling for himself. That’s changed.
“I’ve grown up more in the past two years than ever in my life,” he says. “’Overgrown’ sounds like an album written by somebody who has had love. It’s just something I have more in common with people now that I didn’t before.”
Many of the songs begin sparsely, with him singing over piano—where they go from there is anyone’s guess. Blake’s thick, quivering voice swells into soulful coos while synths whiz past on lead single “Retrograde,” then transforms into ghostly wails as cowbells and sirens dance around him on “Voyeur.” Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA delivers a half-rap, half-poem on “Take a Fall for Me,” while Brian Eno co-produces the gloomy “Digital Lion.”
“I’m working with an endlessly replenished palette,” Blake says. “The sounds I like to use are kind of endless because they’re just noises."
Blake will take his new sonics on the road stateside starting April 16 in San Francisco. There are already small but promising signs of momentum: He rocked New York’s 1,500-capacity Webster Hall in 2011; in May he’ll fill Terminal 5, a 3,000-seater. “Retrograde,” meanwhile, has sold 11,000 copies five weeks in—his fastest-selling single yet—and its video is nearing 1.6 million YouTube views.
Numbers aside, Blake’s personal goal for “Overgrown” is that it’s remembered. To him, all other measures are flawed. “There’s no indicating factor anymore,” he says. “You can’t really go on YouTube hits, because people buy them. You can’t really rely on record sales because people don’t buy them. And you don’t get paid by Spotify. I made [this album] for myself,” he adds. After all, as he’s learned, “It could end up anywhere.”
