XX

Product Information

His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. Many lesser bands than The xx would have crumbled under the pressure of following an album with the slow-burning, cult reputation of their Mercury-winning 2009 debut.

As the album’s anniversary approached, Muse asked Rich Costey, who has produced or mixed material on almost every subsequent record, to revisit the original recordings. We are excited to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of ‘Origin Of Symmetry’ by releasing ‘Origin Of Symmetry: XX Anniversary RemiXX’ on Warner Records.in the UK while winning rave reviews for its soft, minimalist style that delicately adjusted its predecessor’s winning formula just enough to satisfy fans and also make it stand out. In addition, if I have checked the box above, I agree to receive such updates and messages about similar artists, products and offers.

A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential. Originally a bonus track on the album’s Japanese edition and subsequently tagged to the end of the album on streaming services, ‘Futurism’ now adds a burst of energy to bridge the gap between ‘Feeling Good’ and ‘Megalomania’. Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment. Happy to report there are no sibilance issues aside from the last track on side A; probably an inner groove issue. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene.

To celebrate 10 years of Coexist, The xx release a limited edition, crystal clear vinyl pressing of the record. Comprised of various labels we know and love at Rough Trade (Bella Union, ATO, Speedy Wunderground, Phantasy, Heavenly, Mute and more) PIAS [Recordings] filter through some of the most diverse artistry to our racks, which we greatly enjoy digging into. There was space for lighter, pop-informed moments to match the more sombre approach they became best known for, and standout moments like 'Angels', 'Reunion' and 'Swept Away' have since become classics in the band's canon. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee.

The new edition features remixed and remastered audio plus re-imagined artwork and will be released on digital formats on June 18th before two vinyl packages follow on July 9th. The visual artist has created a hyper-realistic 3D rendering of William Eager’s original cover image. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. Usually I’d stay clear of any glow in the dark album , let alone one with a lot of tracks squeezed together.
