Following last week’s French Amazon leak, James Blake has done some teasing of his own for forthcoming album Assume Form. Over the weekend, a new website under the URL of assumeform.com appeared that features a snippet of new music played on loop. The song is dentified by Shazam as “Lullaby for My Insomniac," which appeared on the Amazon leaked tracklist as the closing track.
On Friday night (Jan. 4), a projected visual featuring Blake’s face, the words Assume Form, and the aforementioned URL appeared on a building in Shoreditch, London. The release date is not confirmed but appears to be set for on January 25. Assume Form is made up of 12 tracks and boasts an impressive list of features including Moses Sumney, Travis Scott, André 3000, flamenco artist Rosalía, and Metro Boomin. Blake’s last record was 2016’s The Colour In Anything.
James Blake will make a stop in Seattle on Sunday, March 10 to play the Moore Theatre. Watch Blake’s 2013 KEXP in-studio performance below.
