The xx bio
The xx are a London quartet, featuring the dual lead vocals of Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim (who also play lead guitar and bass guitar respectively), Baria Qureshi (keyboards and guitar) and Jamie Smith (beats, MPC sampler).
Bonding over a shared love of dark, emotive 80s guitar sounds and the high-end sheen of American R&B, The xx’s unique sound befits a band whose wide r... ange of influences include everything from Aaliyah to Cocorosie, Rihanna to The Cure, Missy Elliott to The Chromatics
and Mariah Carey to The Pixies.
These influences combine via beautiful, hushed vocal duets and a brilliantly inventive use of samples and low-end frequencies to produce the stark, sweet melancholic pop of this debut single. Available on 7” vinyl only, limited to 500 copies and exclusively available to independent retailers, ‘Crystalised’ also features a cover of band favourite Aaliyah’s ‘Hot Like Fire’ on the B side that further expands The xx’s hauntingly soulful sound. Both tracks are produced by the The xx and engineered by Cocadisco’s Rodaidh McDonald.
Meanwhile, The xx are currently putting the finishing touches to Full bioRead more
