The xx - 'xx'14 August 2009 The-xx
2 years in the pipe line and The xx are finally ready to release their debut album, ‘xx’.
This being the modern world; full of instant communication techniques, the world wide web and complete freedom of global information, we decided it would be wise to release the album at different dates in different countries.
So…
The UK/Europe/World:
You can get your album from the 17th of August. I highly recommend you buy it from Rough Trade as they’ll not only send you your copy ASAP but they’ll give you a free bonus CD with lots of covers on it.
USA/North America:
I’m sorry but you have to wait for your physical copy of the album: it’s coming out on the 20th of October.
HOWEVER: if you pre-order it from here they’ll send you your album in October but will also give you a .
Here are two videos we made for two of the album tracks, so you know about 2/11ths of what you’re getting into.
The xx – Crystalised

Vimeo08 June 2009 The-xx
Hello All.
We’ve taken down The xx’s ‘Crystalised’ and Kid Harpoon’s ‘Stealing Cars’ videos from www.vimeo.com. We didn’t want to have to do this but Vimeo’s terms state that any video uploaded to the site become’s their property. We probably should have read this before uploading, but now that we know we can’t justify giving away the rights to one of our artist’s videos, so we’re just going to have to stick to youtube.
Enjoy:

Stag and Dagger: Review27 May 2009 The-xx
Last Thursday, as you might well know from reading down a bit, was Stag and Dagger. We put on a night and had a ball.
Alongside the publicised line up of The xx, Girls, Arch M and Phantom were some surprise performances by Lightspeed Champion, Florence and the Machine, Kid Harpoon and an inspired Jack Penate.
The following photos tell part of the story:

'Without love, I am nothing'12 May 2009
I don’t really believe in regrets, but if I was to start, it would be to regret not having the balls to lose a lot of money/blood/sweat/tears working with King Charles.
When Paul in Corinthians said: ‘without love I am nothing’ he might as well have been reading straight from King Charles’ manifesto. As honest and true a romantic as there’ll ever be, Charles’ lyrics are full of a bittersweet yearning for a love that he knows exists, yet always narrowly evades him. His music, on the other-hand, is a ferocious battle cry for it. To me, it seems impossible not to be moved by it.
The following video is for his new single ‘Time of Eternity’ and contains Charles in his full blooded pomp and glory.
