James Blake is currently working on Playing Robots Into Heaven, which will be his sixth proper studio album. In advance of the album’s release on September 8 via Republic, the musician has made available its lead track, titled “Big Hammer,” in addition to a string of tour dates for 2023.
Playing Robots Into Heaven is advertised as Blake’s return to form, going back to the electronic music he introduced himself with on early EPs like The Bells Sketch and CMYK. You can pre-order the album here. After experimenting with ambient music last year, Blake is getting back into the kind of electronic music he introduced himself with on those early EPs. The fast-paced song “Big Hammer” is illustrative of it, albeit with the self-assurance that comes from being in the industry for more than a decade. It starts with a straightforward, sinister sound, then builds into a banger inspired by trap music, and it’s accompanied by a video directed by Oscar Hudson with a robbery as its narrative.
On September 18, Blake will kick off the international leg of his tour at the Fabrique in Milan. The tour will close in Los Angeles on October 19 after stopping in London on September 28 to perform at their hometown, Alexandra Palace.
Tickets can be purchased through StubHub, where all orders are fully insured thanks to the FanProtect service offered by StubHub.
