New music: Trimbal - Confidence Boost (Harmonimix)

Reading on mobile? Watch here Before the release of his soulful self-titled debut , James Blake reworked and rebuilt other people's songs as Harmonimix. His spacious 2010 remix of Lil Wayne's frantic A Milli saw him replace the original beats with twitching electronics, organ swells and drum claps. Blake is returning (albeit briefly) to his production moniker and label (R&S) for the release of Confidence Boost, a reworking of a song by former Roll Deep member Trimbal. As with the Lil Wayne remix, he once again strips the song to its bare bones, letting Trimbal's verses float over beats made out of intakes of breath and distant finger clicks. By the second verse the vocals are multi-layered and pitched at different speeds, the whole thing building to a disorienting climax. For the video – directed by Rollo Jackson (Hot Chip, Franz Ferdinand) and premiered here – Trimbal, Blake and some extras do as the song says and strike poses as flames and flashing lights ratchet up the tension. • James Blake will tour the UK in December, visiting Bristol Thekla (3), London Conway Hall (4) and Manchester Gorilla (6). Confidence Boost is out today.
