Good Records review, August 2008 : "Singer songwriter with an amazing sonic colorization to every song as if he were a painter. What Elliott Smith would have done if he were in Sonic Youth.

He is now 22 and developed a cult following from relentless D.I.Y. touring for the last 7 years along the south and west coast, playing Dallas, Austin, Portland, Seattle, Port Townsend, Denton, Red River New Mexico, L.A., New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Eugene, and has built a cult following with some notable supporters such as, The Polyphonic Spree, Salim Nourallah, Zach Nelson (Formally of Hella), Zach Delorto of Danava, and many others. Blake has had albums out on three Record Labels, Sun-Rise Records USA, Discos Buen Pony in Spain, and his own D.I.Y. record label architect records" Read more on Last.fm.
