Plainsongs is Blake’s Album Out Now
The compositional style of this artist is very interesting.
The music of Blake is influenced by classic rock from the past. The chord progression is not minimalist like in modern music.
This artist seasons his compositions with courageous harmonic and rhythmic choices. This is why his music keeps you glued to the speakers from the first to the last second.
Surely we are dealing with a songwriter with a great compositional experience behind him. His music catapulted me back to the past… to the 70s.
I imagined driving through the endless American roads with a Volkswagen Westfalia, these songs make you feel free.
Blake’s music spoke to my soul. We have a lot in common with this artist. For example, our name, like his, is inspired by a legendary poet.
Plainsongs is a solid album, a complete musical experience. A direct and sincere rock with no strings attached.
A great find that I recommend to everyone.

Solid and Direct!
Plainsongs is Blake’s Album Out Now
Blake is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the UK. He began his musical career singing and playing bass in a Joy Division covers band at school. Discovering he could write his own songs, he adopted the moniker ‘Blake’ after his favourite poet, William Blake.
His home recorded debut album, ‘Solomon’s Tump’, caught the attention of London based indie label Ecto Music, who signed Blake’s band Karma Truffle for an E.P. release. After the dissolution of the band, Blake continued to make music at home and self-released a series of albums recorded on a Tascam portastudio.
2020’s lockdown-recorded LP, ‘1971’, led to Blake being signed by indie label, Subjangle. His 2022 release, ‘The Book On Love’ was featured in International Pop Overthrow’s Best Albums of the Year list.
Blake’s song ‘Vinyl Junkie’ appears in the soundtrack to the Brit film, ’24 Hours To Live Or Die’.
Blake’s new album, ‘Plainsongs’, was recorded on analogue tape at New Cut Studios in Bristol. For further information and a free download visit: https://www.thisisblake.com/
