Photos by Dan Wilton In the space of a handful of remixes, three EPs, and one critically lauded but backlash-inviting full-length, London's James Blake has gone from being one of dubstep's most compelling new producers to one of Britain's most heralded singer-songwriters. Just six months ago, not many people knew that Blake could sing; now, in the wake of his self-titled debut LP, you could easily argue that more people think of him primarily as a singer-songwriter and pianist rather than as a producer.

Pitchfork: Did P erson Pitch's success and the fact that so many younger artists took inspiration from it make it harder to follow up? Noah Lennox: Yeah, totally.
