James Blake is known for playing live with a small ensemble or band rather than solo, often in configurations that feel intimate but layered, incorporating electronic elements, keys, drums, and bass/synths.
James Blake — vocals, keyboards/synths, production elements, and occasional guitar or other instrumentation.
Ben Chaplin — drummer/percussionist, often using electronic pads/samples in addition to acoustic drums for his signature rhythmic style (e.g., live sampling and complex beats).
Rob Moose — additional synths/keys, or guitar elements to fill out the sound.
