As the love grows for this year’s Mercury Prize winner’s The xx, we’ve also seen an influx of covers of various tracks from their much lauded debut album.
Some are good, some are great and some are, well…just plain bad.

Here are some good’uns for you.

OMD have covered VCR and have offered up a version as tender and tastefully minimal as the original. Have a listen

OMD – VCR (rough mix) by 100% Records

Gorillaz take on Crystallised and come up with a stripped down and hauntingly beautiful performance.

The xx XX is out now through Young Turks/XL/Rhythmethod.

VIDEO: TWIN SHADOW DEBUT ALBUM ‘FORGET’ RELEASED THIS WEEK!

Filled under: 4ad, mp3/stream, Rhythmethod, Twin Shadow, videos | Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 |


“To me this is perfect pop, not just because the songs are cool and catchy, but there is a real sincerity found here. After meeting the band in LA, I was even more taken aback. The lead singer’s name is George Lewis Jr. Sounds like the name of a famous boxer and I think that’s appropriate, seeing as this album, from start to finish, is an upper-cut to the jaw of today’s bullshit hipster scene”
JONATHAN PIERCE – THE DRUMS

And indie officianado Courtney Sanders (Fluro, Pulp, undertheradar) has given the big thumbs up also! Read what she had to say HERE

Twin Shadow is the project by Brooklyn inhabitant and fresh 4AD signing, George Lewis Jr.
His debut LP Forget is released THIS WEEK on CD and delicious vinyl LP!

Originally from suburban Florida, George Lewis Jr. packed his bags and headed for the big smoke of NYC where as Twin Shadow, caught the attention of Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear who was so impressed, he lent his talents as co-producer of the album.
Lewis Jr. Says of the new album:
“I can say without shyness, Forget was and is a product of the hardest work I’ve ever put into anything. Please listen closely to the last song[title track 'Forget'] on the record, as I wrote it for you.”
