THE XX – XX (2026 Repress) – LP – Black Vinyl

Description

LP – Black Vinyl (2026 Version). Leaner and More Responsible Packaging

The xxs debut album xx now presented in a leaner packaged version of the original design. Created in an effort to maintain this classic album at an affordable price point for record buyers and respond to the need for more responsible packaging. Available to order now.

The xx are four precocious youngsters from South West London who provide the hushed minimal strokes ofYouth Marble Giants and early Cure but through the minds of a young act obsessed with the R&B turns of Ciara and Aaliyah. They even covered Aaliyah’s “Hot Like Fire” as the b-side for their first single “Crystalised” and is also included on this release. They first gained attention after recording a sensational version of Womack and Womack’s “Teardrops“.

This is an inspired, broken, and uplifting record, packed with melancholic charms that recall the suburban disillusion of the previous Burial records and Portishead’s Dummy.
