An Irish singer-songwriter whose music moves from acoustic whispers to electronic textures.
For a good sense of his early mood, try 'Bury Me with Her (Julia)'. 'The End Of The Affair' shows where that quiet intensity went later on.
Blake's songs have a particular stillness that pulls you in close. Tracks like 'Bury Me with Her (Julia)' and 'Almost nothing' from his debut feel like private conversations set to music. That direct, unadorned quality runs through later work too, even as the arrangements get more electronic.
He started with the acoustic-leaning 'Whispers of the Heart' in 2001. By the time 'Rise' arrived in 2010, the sound had shifted toward electronics, a direction that continued on 2018's 'If You Don't Want Me'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
