"On new EP Before, [Blake] takes this newfound freedom, albatross firmly removed from around his neck, and dives back into his love for club culture, bringing with him everything he’s learned along the way."
- NME
James Blake follows up on last year's full-length Assume Form with a new four-track EP entitled, Before. The release features collaborations with Dominic Maker of Mount Kimbie and Erick the Architect of Flatbush Zombies, while Blake's partner Jameela Jamil is listed as a producer on three of the four songs.
