Jamie XX – Far Nearer
It goes without saying that Jamie XX is one of the hottest producers in electronic music today. From his Mercury Music prize winning work on the debut album from The XX through to his amazing work with the late, great Gil Scott-Heron on We’re New Here.
He’s also been working on solo material and the first outing has arrived on the mighty Numbers. The track first popped up in DJ sets over a year ago and the wait for release is finally over. Lead track “Far Nearer” makes beautiful use of steel drums which give an even more emotional depth to Jamie’s normal high production values. “Beat For” is packed with haunting synths and eery echos before the sub and vocal sample arrives.
Both tracks are a must have and are available now on 12″ and digital download.
