Perry Blake put out a debut album called 'Whispers of the Heart' in 2001. The band's songs like 'Bury Me with Her (Julia)' and 'Almost nothing' have a quiet, introspective quality that caught some attention. They followed that with 'Echoes of the Past' in 2006 and 'Rise' in 2010, which moved toward a more electronic sound. A later album, 'If You Don't Want Me', came out in 2018. Perry Blake's music often deals with personal themes, heard in tracks such as 'Forgiveness' and 'Friend (You've Been Whispering Again)'.
