Reconsider

My weekend, was certainly eventful. I broke my car. I broke my back. And then there was Syntheties - Kirk Spencer and Law playing live blew me away. The sun was out. Too many things have gone wrong this past week and Syntheties was a good break away from it all. But back to wrongness.

In desperate need of a fix of something dreamwavey - I turned to The xx - obviously. And then I suddenly remembered something that I thought would be rude not to share with you. Think slow motion repetitive circles with your arms in the air. Remember, slow motion. Cronos mashes up an already brilliant song and adds an extra element of airiness, a bit of echo, and a more prominent beat. Reconsider.

Together

Wasn't expecting to upload one from the mighty. A nice little surprise for a Wednesday evening.

I'm not a fan generally of songs written for movies. And this does veer a little off track with the symphonic minute or so from 4 mins onwards. But before that Romy's vocals are as sultry and atmospheric as ever. For a band that came from nowhere, to be playing a headline set at Coachella and now to get the nod to write from one of Hollywood's most anticipated releases, The Great Gatsby, must be a real thrill for the London trio that is The xx.

3.10 to 3.45 is beautiful. Together.
