The Colour in Anything by James Blake
Pop music has soared. The layers of texture and the ironing out of the avant garde make this record a pop masterpiece. The Colour in Anything reshapes the surreal and inaccessible into something architecturally sound and spacious. Like Rama-sized spaciousness. Dreamy and rainy and rainy and rainy still. What were we dreaming about? One of the best pop records of 2016. Beautiful beautiful British soul.
