xx
“Young UK band influenced by modern R&B lands on the scene with a terrific debut, filled with seductive songs set to spare but effective arrangements.”
I See You
“I See You, the third album by the xx, attempts to incorporate everyone’s talents into a new version of their sound, one true to their roots but richer and more varied.”
I See You
“Back when they formed as teenagers in the mid-00s, The xx’s early interviews and gigs were defined by their anxiousness. They admitted that they never dreamt of, nor searched for, fame. On stage, dressed in black as if to blend in with the shadows, they struggled to make eye contact with the crowd. To them, the oncoming limelight looked terrifyingly bright. Their self-titled debut was the embodime”
Coexist
“The London trio follows its now-classic 2009 debut with an album that's even more stripped down and minimal. Coexist takes the most distinctive things about the xx and eliminates virtually everything else.”
I See You
“While The xx’s second album, 2012’s ‘Coexist’, may not have aged as gracefully as the band’s debut, its finest moments promised much: on the handful of tracks that melded Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim’s existing knack for intimacy with Jamie Smith’s rapidly expanding production skills, there was a sense of a template being sculpted that would precipitate The xx’s full blossoming on album three ”
I See You
“The xx come out of the darkness and into the light on I See You”
