The XX

Playing approximately three hundred CMJ shows can wear a group down. Just ask the xx, who are currently suffering the consequences of a particularly busy time in New York City last week.

Last night, they were forced to play a London gig without keyboardist-guitarist Baria Quereshi, who was absent due to "exhaustion," according to a spokesperson from their label. For the same reason, the xx have canceled four upcoming European gigs.

The band will be back in action for their November 3 show Frankfurt, Germany, along with the myriad dates booked through the beginning of March. Just looking at their schedule makes me feel a bit light-headed.

The xx win Mercury Music Prize for debut album

Mercury Music Prize win a "weird moment of clarity" for The xx
The xx have won this year's Mercury Music Prize for their debut album xx.

The London-based three-piece formed in 2005 and released their record in August last year.

The trio won the revered prize ahead of 11 other shortlisted acts including favourite Paul Weller, Biffy Clyro and Dizzee Rascal to win the £20,000 prize.

Accepting the prize on stage, frontman Oliver Sim said: "I don't know what we were expecting but we weren't expecting this."

He added: "Thank you so much. We've had the most incredible year and it has just felt like every day we've just woken up to something incredible we just weren't expecting.

"It has felt just like a haze. Being here is like a moment of clarity in all that's happening."

In the summer of 2010 Mercury Music Prize winners (and Everything But The Girl fans) The xx asked Tracey Thorn and her long-time partner in EBTG Ben Watt (also Strange Feeling label boss) to record a track from the The xx’s debut album for a special compilation the band were commissioning of covers of the album's songs by their favourite artists. Unfortunately the project fell apart a few months later for numerous logistical reasons (not least the second wind breathed into the original album by the Mercury Prize victory) but not before Tracey had sung a new version of one the album most beautiful tracks, 'Night Time'.

The track gathered dust for a few months but it is rightfully seeing the light of day on a new EP from Tracey Thorn called the 'Night Time EP', released on Strange Feeling on October 31, much to the delight of all concerned. 'Night Time' was handpicked by Tracey and features Ben guesting on guitars and backing vocals (it is the first time the two have played together on a recording for over ten years) with the drums, programming and mix coming courtesy of Tracey's current production collaborator Ewan Pearson (producer of both Tracey's recent acclaimed album 'Love And Its Opposite' and 2007's 'Out Of The Woods'). As Tracey re-articulates Romy's lyrics, Ben fluidly arpeggiates the original interwoven guitar lines into one seamless pass, while Ewan adds crisp fresh half-tempo drums, atmospheric misty synths and booming bass.

sorry to hear that. when I first heard the xx all I could think about was how tracey thorn must have influenced them. I think a collaboration is in order, wether she does guest vocals on their next cd or they produce something for her.

I like them. A lot. Basic space is one of my favourite songs, and i love the diverse remixes that were made out of it.
You've got the love and Teardrops are marvelous covers.

Check out Jamie Xx's album, it's impressive as well.
