Last night, James Blake returned to the BBC Radio 1 Residency, and as per usual, he dropped some new material on us. "200 Press" is a bit different, even for a James Blake tune. It definitely dwells in that somber lane that he occupies, but is much more upbeat and grooving that we've heard from him in a bit. Almost feels like he crafted his own track to blend into his enticing DJ sets. He also mentions that this is forthcoming on 1-800-DINOSAUR (maybe it's the release he hinted at earlier this month?), but for now, this could be the summertime sadness jam we needed.

UPDATE James Blake has announced that "200 Press" is set to drop on 1-800-DINOSAUR on December 8. There will be a digital release as well as a limited run (of 200, hence the title) of 12" and 7" releases. The flipside is supposed to be a "techno-y tune," and it's also being released with a poem. Check out a new version of the track down below:
