Jamie XX - Far Nearer
This new tune from Jamie XX, king of the bass-hipsters and one half of ‘the xx’, fits a fine, languid summer headspace. After the first xx album came out with it’s indie-folk-with-an-MPC sound, Jamie XX pretty quickly made it clear that he was into electronica, with a few dynamite mixtapes and remixes, including his infamous full-album remix of Gil Scott Heron’s ‘I’m New Here’. This is his first entirely solo production effort, and it’s extremely pleasant. Using some screwed James Blake-esque vocals and a drum pattern that reminds me of the Burial/Four Tet collaborations, it is a very trendy, 2011y song. The understated steel drums and set it apart. While it is comfortingly familiar, I can’t think of anything else that sounds exactly like it. Fans of Mount Kimbie and Sepalcure absolutely need to get on this.
