I love remixes of The XX. And I love Bodhi. So imagine how excited I was when I saw this? whilst this is a fairly old song, I feel it deserves a bit more attention. Bodhi takes the track on a whole new future house spin, adding in some beautiful chord play whilst still maintaining [...]
We know yr probably done with "Angels" (we thought we were too) but we can't help but fall deeply in love with KOTKEE's beautiful 3 A.M. re-imagining (and we stress re-imagining, as we've never heard the oft-covered track quite like this) of The xx hit. KOTKEE - Angels (The XX Cover) KOTKEEE ( Facebook ) Rating 8.3
Last night between revision sessions I was trawling through the darkest deepest areas of soundcloud and youtube in search of something special, and I stumbled upon this. This is an absolutely stunning mashup, showcasing the beautiful vocals of Bastille with the deep and mesmerising chords from the XX's 'Angels'. Perfect for any revision playlist, enjoy [...]

British electro duo BASTILLE created an awesome mash-up of TLC's "No Scrubs" and The xx's "Angels" with sound bites from Psycho mixed in. Bastille's vocals and re-arranging create a version that's atmospheric, orchestral, and plain killer. Their debut album Bad Blood drops March 4th via Virgin Records.

Vorige week kwam het tweede deel van Bastille's mixtape Other People's Heartaches uit. Net als het eerste deel een mooie verzameling oudere en nieuwere nummers vermengd en gecoverd door Dan himself. De hele mixtape is het beluisteren waard, maar zelf was ik enorm onder de indruk van No Angels. No Angels is een cover van de TLC-hit No Scrubs. Vermengd met wat film-quotes, een dramatisch gearrangeerde achtergrondtrack (Angels van the XX) krijgt het nummer meteen een heel andere energie. En het mooie: ook bij deze energie past het nummer heel goed. Het is net alsof [...]

Win our top 31 albums of 2012 ! (Read the original review ) Refining a craft that put them on the forefront of pop music, The xx , resumed where they left off, bringing forth more pregnant pauses and eloquent whispers. On the album's first single "Angels" , you are reintroduce to Romy Madley-Croft 's timid vocals, romanticizing about a lover in the distance, only supported by a gentle backing beat, provided by Jaime xx [...]
The release of ardently anticipated Coexist in the albeit fading shadow of xx, the xx’s second album, garnered doubt as to whether the duo turned trio could produce an album to even contend with the critically acclaimed and almost universally popular debut album. Perhaps the departure from darker sounds should’ve been expected, but the characteristic style of the xx prevails and shines in its hauntingly, almost transcendental beauty. The lighter, ethereal marriage of melodies in Coexist not only manages to appeal to fans of the more arcane xx, but also intimate the [...]
Le duo originaire de Bordeaux, Tuff Wheelz , nous dévoile leur edit du titre Angels, extrait du dernier album de The XX . Une version deep house qui concerne le style balade envoutante du morceau original en y ajoutant quelques rythmes plus marqués.
Pitchfork.tv acaba de publicar tres videos donde se documenta el proceso creativo de The xx .

El segundo nos lleva hasta su cuarto de ensayo donde la banda toca “Angels” . Finalmente los xx hablan de sus presentaciones en vivo y tocan “Tides” en Nueva York. Si querían conocer con lujo de detalle todos los procesos por los que atraviesa la banda desde el estudio hasta el escenario, [...]
Last night we were part of the sell out crowd at Brixton Academy to see The XX play, who were supported by the amazing John Talabot and MMOTHS . The band started off with track Angels, combined with some insanely beautiful visualisations projected onto a screen in front of the stage. As the bass of Angels kicked in, the screen crashed down and the crowd let out an almighty roar, truly kicking off the gig (see a video here ). Their set was slow and atmospheric to begin (as you’d expect) but they built [...]
Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Song: The xx - Angels (The Confect Remix) [download here ] What's so good? It's raining up a storm in San Francisco, so I've been listening to a good bit of downtempo, moody music. While exploring, I stumbled upon [...]
Well, we can easily go out on a limb and say this has to be one of the most creative and interesting musical creations to come out in the last twelve months. And it comes courtesy of two Australian guys known as BLEEDING COLOURS . Oh, but this isn’t any kind of regular release. It’s a cover, but a cover that doesn’t really cover the original track. Rather, it pulls it apart and puts it back together in a completely different form. What the hell are we taking about? We’re talking about a [...]
When I listen to Angels , I picture myself staring out a window into space on a sub-orbital flight via Virgin Galactic sometime in the super near future on some real Space Age shit. The feeling of being there, even just in my imagination, is surreal. Space is calm and infinitely beautiful to me. It doesn't do much from a distance except pose for pictures and twinkle back at us, but its vastness makes us realize how much is really happening within it and how tiny we truly are. During this flight, as I'm staring out into [...]
Hace poco publicamos un remix de “Angels” -canción original de The xx , perteneciente al disco Coexist - a cargo de Four Tet . Pues hoy los papeles se invierten y el mismo Jamie xx se dio a la tarea de reinventar un track de Four Tet. Se trata de “Lion” , tema incluido en el álbum Pink , lanzado a través de Text Records el pasado 20 de agosto. El resultado es el siguiente, disfruten.
Después del remix de Four Tet a " Angels " de The xx, Jamie xx le devuelve el favor haciendo un finísimo remix de "Lion" el último sencillo de Pink, la nueva producción de Four Tet . Jamie xx lleva el concepto de remix a otro nivel con algo mucho más planeado y estructurado para ser toda una delicia auditiva. Enjoy.
The xx gives us a proper clip for their single "Chained" off of the new project that is Coexist. Watch the aquatic visuals in full. Album is available now. Directed by Young Replicant
