Highly recommend reading his statement where he discloses his HIV status and how it inspired the album. 

 

this was entirely produced by Jamie xx btw.

Hideous randomly came on a spotify playlist and it's amazing, specially the bridge. I've been playing it so much. I'll check out his album when it comes out. :flower:

Run the Credits sounds so timeless :jonny5: the melody is kind of Ashford & Simpson tbh

The production of each song is literally top notch just like those on any the xx's albums:WAP:

This album is soooo good :jonny: 

 

Romance With a Memory and Run the Credits are my faves. Any versions with bonus tracks out there? This is way too short 

 

The xx are one of the best bands of all time and their solo music still keeps the quality!! Not many band members have that!!!

There’s a 7” single that has Hideous and a b-side called The Rush. I’m not sure if there are any copies available still but hopefully it will come to streaming eventually!

Gorgeous, gorgeous album and an automatic contender for AOTY. I’ve been following The xx for years now and I’m very proud of Oliver for having the courage to release an album as personal as this one. :heart:

He definitely released the best songs as singles, so I wish he would’ve released less or changed them around

 

That said, I’m in love with the album

A small triumph for gay music

 

Wish the title track had received more recognition and support, it’s SOTY
