New single released, their first for a few years.

The XX - On Hold.

They seem to be getting a bit more EDM style, guess that's Jamie XX's direction with them.

I think it's a grower, hope the others are decent.

And I really hope they do a tour this year, or play Glasto!!!

I agree with you on it being a grower. I really like their stuff and wasn't put off with the last album being a bit more electronic. They have a fairly unique sound and can pull off the atmospheric vocals, indie sound and electronic beats thing quite well. For me, one of the best tracks they made was Reunion which brings in the electronic beats after a nice chilled start. Who doesn't like hearing steel drums either?!

Back to this track, it's not bad and hopefully there's another album to come.

Early bird tickets came on sale today, managed to pick up a couple for Brixton.

I believe general sale is tomorrow.

Well chuffed!
