James Blake
Trying Times (White Vinyl)

PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 13 MARCH

Trying Times' is a record about being in love whilst battling the limits of the self against a backdrop of global uncertainty. James Blake explores the tension between intimacy and isolation, the pressure to curate and perform even as everything, inside and out, feels fragile and precarious. Themes of reflection, both literally and metaphorically, run through the record's visual presentation, as Blake holds a mirror to the contradictions of modern connection - how we see ourselves, how we're seen by others, and what gets lost in between. It's about the disorienting loop of joy and dread: feeling safe in love, yet knowing the bubble could burst at any moment; struggling to stay present while global anxiety and private doubt pull you in different directions. A meditation on love, identity, and fragility in an age where the world feels balanced on a knife edge.
