Inviting, dynamic and subtly cinematic, its artfully crafted precision feels like the work of a fast-maturing talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record arrives in the aftermath of a string of prodigious EPs from the 25-year-old Blake, son of Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. The development from those early works is clear, but it's the kind of evolution that prefers to refine rather than embellish. As Blake says, \"I think my writing has been getting more pared back as I've progressed. I find more and more that simple is better. I love telling a story in the simplest way or conveying a feeling in the simplest way, with not too many frills.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemedy\u003cbr\u003eWaiting On Nina\u003cbr\u003eSea Change\u003cbr\u003eFault Lines\u003cbr\u003eThe Thread\u003cbr\u003eRemoved\u003cbr\u003eCollapsing\u003cbr\u003eDLR\u003cbr\u003eSilhouette On The Hill\u003cbr\u003eThree Moon Trail\u003cbr\u003eTunnels\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PROPER","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":47673973735561,"sku":"BELLA1708CD","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":47673973768329,"sku":"BELLA1708V","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1623\/8217\/files\/thethread.jpg?v=1784809542","url":"https:\/\/davids-music.co.uk\/products\/family-stereo-the-thread","provider":"David's Music LGC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
