![[Listen] The xx: "Chained" (Oneman Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4724140_lg.jpg)
Hemos vuelto a esos días en los que semana con semana aparece un nuevo remix de The xx en la red, lo cual sigue comprobando el hecho de que cada una de las canciones de " Coexist " tenían mucho más para dar en este formato, a diferencia de todas las versiones de estudio pero hey! Tal vez con esto aprendan de su pequeño desliz para ponerse las pilas y no privarse de tantos recursos para su tercera producción. Pero bueno, en esta ocasión ha sido Oneman quién se ha encargado de hacer su propio remix de " [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Fiction" (Kid Simpl Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4714568_lg.jpg)
Después de haber presentado su debut, cada una de las canciones de The xx estuvo recibiendo un montón de tratamientos por otro tipo de actos, los cuales iban desde un cover muy muy simple, hasta un remix demasiado elaborado. Esto en parte hizo que en lugar de irlos olvidando por todo el tiempo que se tomaron para entregarnos " Coexist ", el trío se fuera convirtiendo en algo realmente especial. Ahora, con toda la serie de comentarios que han ido emergiendo desde el lanzamiento de su segundo álbum, me da la impresión de que los remixes que han [...]
Recently named One To Watch Mikky Ekko recently stopped by Annie Mac 's BBC Radio 1 show to perform a cover of The xx 's "Chained" , as well as a live version of one of our new favorite tracks, "Pull Me Down" . The Clams Casino cohort turned the once lush, vocally-layered track into a sparse, soulful number that sounds more Miguel than xx . Here, Mr. [...]
![[Listen] Mikky Ekko: "Chained" (The xx Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4702204_lg.jpg)
Mikky Ekko es otro de esos tipos que en la recta final de 2012 comenzó a generar un buzz impresionante por toda la bloggosfera, y aunque debo reconocer que creo que no es para taaanto, su álbum debut se ha estado convirtiendo en uno de los discos mas esperados de este año que acaba de comenzar. Y para que ustedes se vayan dando una idea de lo que Mikky Ekko está haciendo con su peculiar tono de voz lleno de un sentimiento que se les puede hacer adicción, el día de hoy estuvo como invitado en el show de Annie [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Sunset" (Jamie xx Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4699932_lg.jpg)
iTunes acaba de poner en descarga gratuita un pequeño EP de The xx titulado simple y sencillamente como "The xxmas EP, el cual forma parte de la serie de 12 días en los que diariamente nos estarán dando un par de regalos navideños de los que hasta el momento, creo que el mas destacado para este espacio ha sido este de The xx . Pero bueno, en este lanzamiento gratuito ustedes podrán encontrarse con dos vídeos de la banda, así como con este remix que Jamie xx le hizo a "Sunset", mismo que ya había [...]
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 [...]
With The xx once again scaling the dizzying heights of most critics Best of Year lists for their second album, Coexist , the London three-piece hardly needed to give us much more, yet along with a visit to Radio 12s Live Lounge today, the group have put their take on Wham!'s Christmas classic up for free download. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from The xx covering Wham! I.e all the frivilous campness is replaced by brooding intenstity and scowls. Cheer up chums, Christmas is just around the corner.
It's no secret that you don't need to be layering your music with a million different sounds and instruments to make it have a unique sound. The xx are a perfect example of this, and fittingly, new kids on the block London Grammar are espousing the same sort of vibe as The xx : minimalist, atmospheric, subdued pop. The trio's debut track "Hey Now" appeared last week, sparse, cold, and reflective, dripping in Hannah's foggy vocals and begging for you to take it [...]
The XX performed the Wham! holiday classic "Last Christmas" at the Radio 1 Live Lounge as their surprise cover. It's The XX doing a holiday song. It sounds exactly like you'd imagine it would. Check it out below.

Ültimamente han estado pasando muchas cosas en torno a The xx , las cuales han ido desde remixes bastante buenos, hasta la idea de la creación de su propio festival para el próximo año. Obviamente esto nos habla de que aunque " Coexist " no resultó ser lo que todos esperabamos, estos tres tienen una mente muy ambiciosa con la que sin duda nos pueden entregar cosas bastante padres como lo han hecho el día de hoy, ya que dentro de la visita que hicieron al Live Lounge de la BBC Radio 1, además de presentar " Chained ", [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Chained" (John Talabot & Pional Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4673262_lg.jpg)
Por fin! El tan anunciado remix que John Talabo t y Pional le hicieron a " Chained " de The xx , ha sido revelado. Y esto encaja perfectamente con toda la atmósfera que Jamie xx se encargo de crear la semana pasada con su aparición en el Boiler Room, donde ustedes ya muy bien saben que aprovechó para presentar una maravilla de remix para el bonus track de " Coexist ", el cual realmente espero que sea dado a conocer en su formato original para que lo podamos disfrutar mucho mas agusto. [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Teardrops" (Live on Dermot O'Leary, BBC Radio 2)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4665885_lg.jpg)
Yo sé que apenas ayer les vine a poner algo relacionado con The xx , pero creo que vale la pena compartir esta versión acústica que presentaron en la BBC Radio 2 del cover que le hicieron a Womack And Womack para la edición especial de su álbum debut. "Teardrops" es una de las mejores cosas que a The xx se le ha ocurrido versionar, ya que realmente se apropiaron de la canción como si se tratara de un tema original de este trío, sin embargo debo decir que cuando tope la versión de Womack And Womack [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Reconsider" (Jamie xx Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4663404_lg.jpg)
La semana pasada Jamie xx estuvo haciendo de las suyas en el Boiler Room de nueva cuenta, donde además de soltar el track que se encargó de producir para el nuevo álbum de Alicia Keys, también aprovecho para presentar un remix que en lo personal llamó mucho la atención, ya que suena mil veces mejor que la versión original de este bonus track de " Coexist ", y estoy seguro que una gran parte de ustedes pensará que este remix que Jamie le hizo a "Reconsider" de The xx suena mucho mejor. Además, este remix nos [...]
Over the weekend we got a few new tracks and interesting remixes, and one that seemed to come out of nowhere as a surprise was from Jamie xx . The producer is a member of UK band The xx , but he decided to remix his own bands tune "Reconsider." The original of this was only a bonus track to the most recent album Coexist and hasn't been released otherwise, but maybe it will see the light of day at some point. For now, enjoy the remix below. Fresh? [...]
Given 23 year old Jetta John-Hartley 's background, it would be surprising if she wasn't pursuing a career in music. Born in Liverpool to a singer mother and sound engineer dad, it would seem like she was destined for her chosen path. "Although, I did want to be an astronaut when I was a kid," she told me when asked about her musical background; but, "I can't imagine doing anything else," she assures me. Jetta has been gaining steady attention on the strength of her début single "Start A [...]
You know when you go to a show to see one band but are then unexpectedly blown away by the opening band to a point where you feel like you're satisfied and don't even need to see the headlining act for it to be a successful evening? That's what happened when these guys blew me away with their live show a few weeks back. Movement formed in Sydney about a year ago and was originally a duo consisting of Sean Walker (percussion, samples) and Jesse James Ward (bass, synths) until becoming [...]
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 [...]
I'm pretty sure everyone loves The xx as much as I do. It's the perfect amount of x's. Anymore then two and things start getting weird and dirty. I'm a family man people. The group stopped by Jools Holland to play their hit single " Angels" off their new album Coexist , which is out now. Watch the performance below and drift away into complete mental absorption.

I’ve eagerly awaited a follow up for NOSAJ THINGs Drift for quite some time now - and with the 10” for ‘Eclipse/Blue’ due out next month, and his new album Home set for 2013, there’s only a few more sleeps to go! Although he’s made some appearances on other artists’ albums; working with THE XX and FLYING LOTUS to name only a couple - it looks like the three years he’s spent since his last solo release has developed his sound considerably, with [...]
