Seguindo as sonoridades do homónimo e fazendo trocas musicais mais ritmadas com outras ainda mais frias e soturnas, Coexist veio mostrar que os The XX não eram apenas bons. Após este, surgiram vários covers, pelo trio, e ainda o anúncio do regresso a território nacional. Agora já há mais novidades. Numa entrevista à Billboard, o vocalista Oliver Sim afirmou que a banda já começou a escrever, e que se encontrava a tentar conjugar esse processo criativo com as digressões e, ajustá-lo à voz "forte" de Romy, que segundo este "cresceu imenso apenas do facto [...]

2012 was a surprisingly good year for music. Although no albums particularly struck me as a far and away Best Album as The Suburbs and MBDTF have in the past, the industry was deep with a bevy of solid albums. Every year around this time writers call for the death of Rock music, I'd like to point out a few great albums. Join me, won't you? If you haven't checked out the other Nosebleeders favorite albums check out Part I , II , III , IV . [...]
Kitsuné Maison , one of Paris's most revered labels, releases a brand new compilation record this week. Not only that, but they're also celebrating their tenth anniversary. Ten years young, ay? How the time flies. As such, they've decided to make their latest mix, entitled Kitsuné Maison Compilation 14 - 10th Anniversary Edition , something of a celebration . Including remixes from Citizens! , a new Two Door Cinema Club song, (incidentally the first remix by label founder Gildas Loaec himself) and Friends as well as tracks from Is Tropical and Lorenz Rhode featuring [...]
THE XX, JOHN TALABOT ( Roseland , 8 NW 6th) Read our article on the xx . MECCA NORMAL, AMENTA ABIOTO, REBECCA GATES ( Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center , 5340 N Interstate) I'm not merely indulging sentimentality here when I write that the all-ages music scene in Portland sure isn't what it used to be. By "used to be," I'm referring to a mere couple of years ago—in hindsight, venues like the defunct Chaos CafÉ, Satyricon, and [...]
El nuevo album The XX, es flojo. Disco que salto tres temas seguidos, malo. Y si el comienzo de su primer disco, era de traca, aqui tenemos que revolver demasiado para quedarnos satisfechos. "Angels" no me sugiere un buen tema para abrir, pero es de lo mejor del disco. Chained , bien. Fiction no te dejan sensación de nada del otro mundo, pero no estan mal. Y Reunion "pasa para los que somos fans de Far Nearer . Pero los ultimos temas de Coexist, me [...]

El día ha llegado. Por fin, es 27 de septiembre, un día que miles de personas marcaron en sus calendarios hace algunos meses, justo cuando se anunciaba la primera visita a México de este trío inglés de indie rock que ha cautivado a millones alrededor del mundo. Y es que apenas fue hace 3 años cuando The xx publicó su álbum debut, ese disco homónimo que explotó en cuestión de días, siendo acreedor a numerosos reconocimientos incluyendo el Mercury Prize en 2010. Hoy, The xx logró abarrotar el Auditorio [...]

"Coexist" , publicado el pasado día 10 de septiembre, a través del sello independiente Young Turks , es el nombre del nuevo LP de The XX , el trío formado por Romy Madley-Croft , Oliver Sim y Jamie Smith . Estos británicos vuelven a conquistarnos con su dulce y mágico indie-dream pop con bases electrónicas. Tras su aclamado álbum debut, [...]

Presale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday 19th September, available only to fans who've signed up to The xx mailing list in advance.

Coexist may be the kind of album that fully reveals itself over time, but, for now, one of the year's most anticipated releases only keeps you waiting for something more to happen. Painting minimalist soundscapes in shades that range from muted darkness to pitch-black atmospherics, the xx has never had the most supplies in its art box or the broadest palette. But what made the xx's 2009 self-titled debut stand out was the nuance and care with which the band used its basic tools, as it maintained an impressively consistent aesthetic while throwing in enough variations on its [...]

Tweet These days everyone wants your money. Team SGTMT were out on the streets of London buying a bicycle pump and toothbrushes this afternoon (living the dream) and we decided to take a detour through Camden Market on the way back to our Headquarters. If you've ever been to the market and passed through the food stalls, you'll know what happens; " TRY PORK CHOW MEIN!! ", " HERE! HERE!! TRY CHICKEN SATAY TRY CHICKEN SATAY! HERE!! " and " SIR! SIR!

Have you been out of touch with this weeks musical-hype? Busying yourself with issues that actually matter? Well here’s a brief recap of what’s been going on. Kanye West Releases A New One Off Cruel Summer: Kanye's latest Lp Cruel Summer drops on September 18th. This track, which dropped Thursday is the latest taster we've got of the record. It features Jay Z, Big Sean and Hit Boy (the producer behind the Niggas In Paris beat). I'm still 90% sure Kanye's a practical joke just waiting for the punchline. Anytime [...]
Dopo l'anticipazione con lo splendido singolo Angels stanno per essere svelate le altre dieci tracce che vanno a formare la tracklist del secondo album targato The xx . 'Coexist ', che uscira l'11 settembre per Young Turks/XL Recordings, è stato prodotto da Jamie Smith, dei The xx , ed è il seguito dell'album di debutto 'xx' del 2009. Il disco è stato registrato negli studi della band a Londra fra Novembre 2011 e Maggio 2012. Continua a leggere The xx: [...]
In the Northern Hemisphere, Fall does not officially begin until September 22. In most minds, Summer is definitely over from the moment the month of September rolls around. Over the past few months there have been quite a few songs that helped to make our summer a little bit more enjoyable. Whether the tempo was lightening fast or as frozen as ice, a handful of songs will always be there to remind us how we spent the Summer of 2012. Take the jump... [...]
On a brief North American tour to preview songs from their forthcoming second album Coexist and with two years having passed since the trio last toured their Mercury Prize winning self titled album, The XX look and sound more confident and relaxed on stage than ever before. Romy Madley-Croft Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith spend the show cloaked in a thick fog of smoke, with occasional white beams of light penetrating through the darkness. The atmospheric stage setting - with the band in silhouette throughout the evening - is the perfect complement to Croft and Sim’s [...]
Theophilus covered a Wang Chung song. Azealia is still sexy as hell. Purity Ring turned trap trippy. Flying Lotus, Earl, and a suspiciously Tylerish-sounding dude named Captain Murphy joined forces for the most mind-meltingly blunted jam I've heard in months. The xx came back to save us all, and Ariel Pink went all folky, '60s parents-pop on us. Jacques Greene kept it settled while TNGHT smashed us in the fucking face. Not to mention, Passion Pit came with a gorgeously constructed collection of candy-coated pop songs that, despite occasionally sounding like the audio equivalent of rainbow sherbet, are actually super [...]

The album hits shelves on September 11, but with the band in town this week, you can get a taste for what's to come by heading to Terminal 5 this Thursday night. Also in town this week are Washed Out (pictured above), [...]
