The XX -VCR & Islands (Matthew Dear & Nosaj Thing remixes) free download
One of the albums of last year for me was the self titled debut by The XX. It was subtle and powerful at the same time with sublime vocals layered on top of haunting guitar. It has now spawned a raft of remixes over the past few months with Matthew Dear doing what he does best to “VCR” by adding some lovely percussive funky elements giving more depth to the track.
If that wasn’t enough we have also got a rework by Los Angeles beat trickster Nosaj Thing to give away. This provides a more spaced out, darker feel in the background with nice broken beats.
