We used to get closer than this- The xx 's sophomore LP was composed and recorded mainly in a room lined with black velvet. The room wasn't exactly soundproof and the material worked to muffle the noise. One can only imagine the effect that writing in that atmosphere would have on the soundscapes of the record. "Chained" is the second song to emerge from Coexist and is accompanied by a psychedelic video (which resembles something like an eardrum), just like the first, "Angels." In an interview with Pitchfork , singer/guitarist [...]
I don't know about you, but over the past couple of months there has been nothing quite as annoying than blogs & websites posting video after video of terrible quality xx performances. Arrggh. Alas! They can all stop now (please stop?), as the trio have unveiled "Chained" - the follow up to "Angels" . continue reading >>
We've been salivating over new live versions of tracks from The xx 's upcoming new album Coexist , but now we're getting beginning to get better and better samples from the album as we inch ever-nearer towards its release. Last week it was two new tracks "Sunset" and "Reunion" , played live in Hollywood the week before, and up until that point all we had (for the most part) was "Angels" , but now we have another new track, in [...]
Después de un gran regreso con "Angels" , The xx nos presenta "Chained" otro track de su nueva producción Coexist que verá la luz el próximo 11 de septiembre. Nos encanta el beat de ésta, se ve que el disco va a cumplir las expectativas. Enjoy. "We used to get closer than this..." ♩ The xx - Chained
Desde Alemania, mas concretamente Berlín, nos llega el nuevo remix de Theatre Of Delays, para el tema "What You Want" de Boys Noize. Le da un toque mucho mas melódico, introduciendo [....]

A few days ago I tweeted about The xx having performed a new song "Swept Away" at their recent show in LA. Whilst that quickly spread throughout the blogosphere there were also a number of other videos of new tracks scattered throughout YouTube. Below you can feast your ears on "Sunset" and "Reunion" , both seemingly even more sparse than the previously-heard "Angels" or the tracks on their self-titled debut, but just as powerful and affecting. All three tracks are taken [...]
Sometimes it takes a while; or in the case of Gotye’s Original, a major long time to stop listening to a track; to then come back to it at some later point where it can sound somewhat renewed or fully refreshed to the ears. Sasha Plus to some extent has achieved this notion, but not without giving a winking nod towards Afrojack’s blends during his mashup. If this didn’t have Gotye’s fabulous vocal singing all over the top, then this would be a hugely spectacular Instrumental. Erol Sabadosh handles The XX like so many have done so before [...]
The new XX track "Angels" has been knockin it down inside b3sci HQ for a couple weeks now. A few remix contenders have come to the fore since the initial track's release, but this new mix by Gin and Gin maybe our favorite thusfar. Give it your ears below. The xx - Angels (Gin & Gin Remix) The xx ( Facebook ) Rating 8.3
Now that they've released the first official track from their upcoming album Coexist , we can now watch The xx perform gorgeous studio versions of their songs (like their performance on Conan ) instead of settling for sub-par, crowd-shot videos we were all clambering over a couple of months back. The band have been doing some promo work around the cities of their tour dates recently and stopped by Studio Q in Toronto to perform the sublime "Angels" , and then sit down [...]
Impartially balanced and open-mindedly accurate, Bodhi starts off the day on a glorious blue sky note; rolling through with melodious tech house intent and approved acceptable standard.

The XX - Co-Exist Now Playing – every week, a roundtable of our writers will give their views on one of the recently-released new tracks. It’s as simple as that! If you want to tell us what you think of the song, feel free to leave a comment below. Track: ‘Angels’ by the xx Average grade: 5.3 Harry: I’ve never rated the xx much at all, too much hype [...]
Just in cased you missed it. Last night on Conan, The xx performed the hauntingly beautiful “Angels”. Watch it again below.
Ya habíamos escuchado “Angels” , el nuevo sencillo de The xx , pero en el video que les presentamos a continuación, podrán ver a la banda interpretando el sencillo completamente en vivo en el programa de Conan O’Brien . Ejecución impecable a cargo de The xx, disfruten.
El regreso del trío británico tuvo un nuevo episodio anoche en el show televisivo que conduce el comediante Conan O'Brien . Allí, interpretaron Angels , el primer single de lo que será su segundo disco de estudio. Además del adelanto musical, The xx han venido dando pistas sobre esta nueva etapa como grupo en diversas entrevistas, asegurando que sienten estar superando su timidez inicial o describiendo a los temas del [...]
Procurando uma dose de minimalismo na sua segunda-feira? Então pode parar de procurar. O The xx passou pelo programa de Conan O'Brien para provar mais uma vez que é uma banda absolutamente impressionante ao vivo, e hipnotizou a audiência com o single Angels , apesar, e na verdade, especialmente por sua proposta sutil e formação resumida. O destaque nessa apresentação vai quase que unicamente para o choro suave da guitarra e para a performance magnética de Jamie na percussão. Angels é o primeiro single de Coexist , novo álbum do [...]
YouTube : British quirk-pop masters Hot Chip release an unsurprisingly odd video for In Our Heads track "How Do You Do?" PB : The XX play their latest single "Angels" live on Conan. CoS : Lollapalooza 2012 hasn't even gotten underway, but the Chicago festival has already announced the dates for its next go in 2013. NME : After a brief health scare, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker announces he's quitting drugs [...]
This is my favorite non hip-hop record at the moment. Her voice is beautiful. Coexist is stores Sept. 11
Second album Coexist is out in Ireland on September 7, a week after they play Electric Picnic. The video above is about as intimate as you'll see on US TV. It's mesmerising. Pre-order Coexist on iTunes here, and listen to the original of 'Angels' after the jump. (Via the Audio [Read more]
