Glastonbury 2014
Watch James Blake bring ‘Retrograde’ to Glastonbury 2014
The Mercury Prize winner brought a more minimal closing set to the Park Stage.
While Kasabian were busy inciting rowdiness over at the Pyramid Stage this evening, there were some decidedly more chilled out vibes elsewhere on site, as the sun set over Worthy Farm for the final day of this year’s Glasto.
Closing proceedings over at the Park Stage, the 2013 Mercury Prize winner James Blake wasted no time in showcasing his finest humming skills for the unmistakable introduction of ‘Overgrown’ cut ‘Retrograde’.
A key part of the London producer’s thirteen-track set, the ethereal piano-led track may have been part of one of the more minimal sets of the night, but it nevertheless shone brightly against the darkening skies.
