    Jamie XX - In Colour

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted

     

    im having the 'Basinski effect' with this one, meaning that I feel i'm supposed to know or understand that Jamie XX has some kind of important body of work or legacy, yet I am 100% completely unaware of this and have approached the album just any other new act electronic record, and approaching it like that it kinda sounds like what Zomby was doing on Where were u in 92 with a much higher budget and team of people.

     

    Jamie XX, and the band the xx, has a decent overlap with Four Tet, Caribou, Burial, Gold Panda, and Hot Chip for a a lot of reasons: Thom York being a fan, same circles of PR, management and booking connections in Brooklyn and London, also many of these artists I mentioned went to the same school.

     

    On the surface, I get the Zomby comparison, though I'd say he's more hyped from his musical novelty and absurdly bullshit persona. I had a very very gradual liking of both Jamie XX and the group xx in general, specifically because of their rapid rise to fame & acclaim, but i can say the same thing about Washed Out and Grimes, who I also adore.

     

    The music Jamie XX is making isn't groundbreaking but it's well crafted and sincere. Most electronic producers his age with this much popularity are putting out EDM drivel. The ones doing decent stuff that's left-field or experimental with any kind of mainstream influence are guys like I dunno, Arca or Evian Christ, and the amount of pretentious circle-jerking around that scene is hilarious (see Future Brown's reception) compared to the PR machine behind this.

     

    plus the xx did that wicked remix of that awful cover of you got the love by florence and the machines
