shred Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 New song called Chained. Absolutely love this. Waaaay too short though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wasn't impressed on the first listen, especially not after stupefying piece of music that is "Angels". Spoiled me too much, I guess. But that was just the first listen and it's not bad at all, anyway. I wish they stopped releasing new songs :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 They're playing like 30km away from me in one hour and I won't/can't be there :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The xx to Collaborate With BBC Orchestra On September 19, the xx will collaborate with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for a performance, the BBC reports. They'll play new arrangements of tracks from 2010's The xx and their upcoming record Coexist, as well as new, specially commissioned work. The band will work with composer Alex Baranowski, who previously worked with Underworld on music for Danny Boyle's theater production of Frankenstein. The free concert will take place on the water, in the seaside resort of Bridlington in East Yorkshire, England as part of this fall's BBC Philharmonic Presents... series. It will be broadcast live on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 program. I think this will sound bloody amazing. Hope the performance will end up on Youtube somewhere.

shred Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Listening to it now and I'm loving it so far. A little bit more techno/dancy than XX but still manage to retain their sound from the first album. So far Reunion is my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dry_pretzels Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm only on the fourth track now, but so far I really, really like Fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I gave in and listened to the leak :shame: It's a decent successor to their debut album, which is to say I prefer 'xx' to 'Coexist'. That's partly due to the fact that it's been months and months that I've been listening to 'xx' so of course I know the songs better whereas the new material is yet to be analysed, and because I feel like the songs in 'xx' are more versatile than the new tracks. There are some very interesting samples of sound among them, to be sure, but overall the new album fails to make me instantaneously fall in love with it, which happened with the debut. The fact that they sound all the same and are unable to produce something interesting again I dismiss in its entirety. I still haven't had enough of them. "Angels" remained the strongest track on the album, followed by "Tides", "Unfold", "Swept Away". Other tracks need to grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm only on the fourth track now, but so far I really, really like Fiction. Fiction and Reunion are highlights. Not as solid as their first album, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
