Blawan (a.k.a Jamie Roberts) will release a new EP on XL Recordings.
The five-track record is Roberts’ second release on XL Recordings, following Woke Up Right Handed.
We’re told that Dismantled into Juice “encapsulates the multifaceted sounds that Roberts has been fastidiously perfecting across the last decade.”
After hearing the powerful vocals of rising singer Monstera Black, who features on the release, Roberts set about making a record that moved him deeper into the studio “to perfect the abstract sounds he’s always wanted to explore.”
Across five tracks, he flickers between instrumentals and vocal-led songs that see him transcend the “techno” box he has so often been put in.
Bringing in distorted drum rhythms, piercing synths, and original vocal cuts, the release is Roberts’ “most riveting and genre-bending music to date,” we’re told.
