"It's the sound of The xx moving out of their natural habitat-the shadows-and toward the more experimental, wide-ranging palette that producer Jamie 'xx' Smith painted…The future looks bright."
-Rolling Stone

 

"I See You pulls off the feat of managing to sound both exactly like The xx and unlike anything they have done before."
-The Guardian

 

Fresh off of their festival appearances this past summer, The xx will be bringing their I See You Tour to Asia in January-February 2018.

3rd Feb 2018, Modernsky will proudly present The xx show in Beijing Exhibition Centre Theatre, featuring a full production of spectacular sound and lighting. This is the only ONE show of this I SEE YOU TOUR within mainland China, and also is the first time The xx play in mainland China.

 

The xx are Romy Madley Croft (guitar, vocals), Oliver Sim (bass, vocals) and Jamie Smith (beats, MPC, production), also known as Jamie xx. Their latest Mercury prize nominated release I See You (out now through Young Turks) incorporates all three members' talents into a new version of their sound, one true to their roots but richer and more varied. Icy synthesisers meld with distorted guitars, creating an advanced electro-pop experiment mixed with indie rock and R&B.

 

Praise and accolades for the new album add to the momentum already created by their earlier work. Their 2009 debut xx was met with critical and commercial acclaim, appearing on countless critics' lists of the year's best albums, including NME, Uncut, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. xx won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize in 2010 and was certified platinum in the UK and Gold in Australia. Sophomore LP Coexist (2012) saw The xx strip their already-naked sound, with so few elements to each song that manages to deepen without intruding.

Fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their tickets to witness The xx, one of pop's brooding perfectionists.
