See: James Blake releases new track / video for ‘If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead’, plus European tour dates


Thing with having your own Radio 1 Residency is it’s the ideal place to premiere your own material, which is exactly what James Blake did last night. It’s another surprise following his atmospheric reworking of Don Mclean’s Vincent that he dropped on Christmas Eve. It’s introspective, blurring electronic soul, Blake’s vocal obscured and altered giving it this almost eerie quality, backed up by the gentle clanking of bottles. Underneath, synths interact and weave, albeit slowly providing some depth to the accompaniment.

The Alexander Brown directed video was filmed driving around Los Angeles. Check it out below
