Pitchblack Playback: James Blake – Trying Times
Hear the new James Blake album in the dark before it releases tot the world on the 13th of March.
A champion of artistic independence, James Blake is preparing to release his first fully independent album, Trying Times, in 2026. Trying Times is a masterful display of the breadth of his artistry and ability to articulate emotion with endearing transparency. James Blake traces the uneasy space between intimacy and isolation in an age of instability. The record moves along the pressure lines of modern life, where overwhelm becomes both subject and atmosphere. The result is a body of work suspended between hope and dread. It moves through the comfort of loving and being loved while recognising how fragile that safety can feel when global anxieties and private doubts pull in opposing directions.
Immerse yourself in this stunning new album at our exclusive pre-release listening session in the dark. Hear it played loud in uncompressed audio on our sound system. No distractions; just you and the music.
This is a (seated) album listening session in the dark, not a live performance of any kind. Your ticket price includes a Pitchblack Playback recycled cotton eye mask (yours to keep) which we give you as we have to keep the fire exit lights on.
