James Blake has revealed that his new album will be called Radio Silence.

Although first broadcast during the final show of Blake's BBC Radio 1 residency in December, the announcement came as a surprise to most when it was uploaded to Soundcloud Jan 14.

In the recording, his co-host (1-800-DINOSAUR collaborator Dan Foat) asks whether the album title 'reflect[s] on the fact that the radio have just kicked you off and you won't be having a show any more?" Blake, deadpan as ever, replies simply 'No.'

Following two successful albums, (his first self-titled LP and 2013 Mercury Prize winner Overgrown), Blake's third is hugely anticipated, Gigwise reports.
