“We talked a bit about the xx, and too much of it centered around Jamie xx and his role in the band and if the next xx record will sound more like his solo stuff and blah blah blah. But what I wished we had talked more about was xx itself, that debut record, and songs like “VCR”, that exemplify how masterfully this band used silence and space to heighten tension and extract emotion. It was as much what the xx doesn’t say that communicates so well.” - Chris Bosman (@racecarbrown)
