The XX

Built in an era where electronic elements began to frame the independent music world, this work focuses on a hollow, precise style. The music relies on cavernous studio techniques and hushed vocal deliveries to evoke the feeling of London after dark.

Everything unnecessary was stripped away to highlight the tension between the instruments. The result is a private conversation that prioritizes restraint over density, emphasizing the weight found in the gaps between the melodies.
