The XX ‘Chained’

August 8, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

The XX have posted another cut from their upcoming record ‘Coexist’ online, this time in the form of Chained. It’s a brilliant track, folding in on itself again and again like The XX’s best music and growing steadily at the same time, most notably through that electronic drum beat that sounds so out of place until it melds slowly into the rhythm of the song.

The XX Australian Tour

June 4, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Following the announcement that their hotly anticipated second album will be entitled ‘Coexist’, The XX will return to Australia this July for two intimate shows in Melbourne and Sydney.

February 7, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

Guest Writer: Denham Last Thursday evening, no more than 50 people gathered in Polyester Records on Flinders Lane for an intimate and, as bassist Oliver Sim described it, “very cosy” performance from The XX, who could probably fill virtually any venue in Australia they wished to.

Melbourne Laneway Review

February 1, 2010 by Lachy 3 Comments

Yesterday, the indie crowd of Melbourne congregated at Footscray Community Arts Center for one of Australia’s favourite music festivals, Laneway.
