Surprise! James Blake is back with a new EP.

Though he’s stayed quite busy (at a dizzying pace), it’s the first proper release from the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer since…last year. Either way, the dance-pop EP is a tip of the cap to Blake’s days coming up as a DJ in London’s club scene, yet he manages to push forward with a new sound.
